Proverbs 1:17-19
International Standard Version
17 Look, it is useless to spread a net in full view of[a] all the birds,
18 but these people[b] lie in wait for their own blood.[c]
They ambush only themselves.
19 Such is the way of all those who seek illicit gain—
it takes away the lives of those who possess it.
