Proverbs 1:17 in context

  1. 15My son, don’t walk on the path with them.
    Keep your foot from their path,
  2. 16for their feet run to evil.
    They hurry to shed blood.
  3. 17For the net is spread in vain in the sight of any bird;
  4. 18but these lay in wait for their own blood.
    They lurk secretly for their own lives.
  5. 19So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain.
    It takes away the life of its owners.
