17 Surely in vain is the net spread out before the eyes of any bird. For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird, How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it!
18 And they lay wait for their own blood, || They watch secretly for their own lives. but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives. These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves!
19 So [are] the paths of every gainer of dishonest gain, || It takes the life of its owners. Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors. Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.
