Proverbs 1:17
Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
ā The Restored Word Bible
Context
15 My son, walk not you in the way with them; refrain your foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their blood; they lurk privily for their lives.
19 So the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
