American Standard Version
" For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird: "
— Proverbs 1:17, American Standard 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:”
“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.”
Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; We will all have one purse:
My son, walk not thou in the way with them; Refrain thy foot from their path:
For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.
For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird:
And these lay wait for their own blood; They lurk privily for their own lives.
So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; It taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
Wisdom crieth aloud in the street; She uttereth her voice in the broad places;
