Proverbs 1:17-18 in English

¹⁷ For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird:

¹⁸ And these lay wait for their own blood; They lurk privily for their own lives.

¹⁷ for nets are not without cause spread for birds.

¹⁸ For they that are concerned in murder store up evils for themselves; and the overthrow of transgressors is evil.

¹⁷ Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

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

¹⁸ But 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!

¹⁷ There's no point in trying to lure birds into a net when they can see it.

¹⁸ However, these evil people hide ready to kill others, but they themselves are the victims. They're only ambushing themselves!

¹⁸ So they lay waite for blood and lie priuily for their liues.

¹⁸ And these lie in wait for their own blood, they lurk for their own lives.

¹⁷ Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

¹⁸ And they lay wait for their own blood; They lurk privily for their own lives.

¹⁷ For uselessly is the net spread out before the eyes of every winged bird:

¹⁸ While they lie in wait for their own blood; they watch in concealment for their own lives.

¹⁷ For nets are not without cause spread for birds.

¹⁸ For they that are concerned in murder store up evils for themselves; And the overthrow of transgressors is evil.

¹⁷ For as the net is spread in vain Before the eyes of any bird,

¹⁸ So they lie in wait for their own blood; They lurk secretly for their own lives.

¹⁸ but these lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.
