Proverbs 1:17 in context

  1. 15My son, walk not thou in the way with them; Refrain thy foot from their path:
  2. 16For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.
  3. 17For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird:
  4. 18And these lay wait for their own blood; They lurk privily for their own lives.
  5. 19So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; It taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
