American King James Version
"Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. "
— Proverbs 1:17, American King James Version
“Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.”
“ For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird: ”
“For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird:”
“Surely it is futile to spread a net in plain sight of any bird,”
“But a net is spread in vain before the eyes of them that have wings.”
“Truly, to no purpose is the net stretched out before the eyes of the bird:”
“Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.”
Cast in your lot among us; let us all have one purse:
My son, walk not you in the way with them; refrain your foot from their path:
For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privately for their own lives.
So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which takes away the life of the owners thereof. ¶
Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:
