Proverbs 1:16-18

¹⁶They rush to do evil deeds! They hurry to murder MTY people.

¹⁷It is useless to put out a ◄trap/net to catch a bird► because when a bird sees it, it stays away from it.

¹⁸But those wicked people are not like the birds, because they do not realize that when they prepare to ambush someone to kill him, they will be killed themselves!
