"But a net is thrown in vain before the eyes of those who have wings. "
— Proverbs 1:17, Catholic Public Domain 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 your lot with us. One purse will be for us all.”
My son, do not walk with them. Preclude your feet from their paths.
For their feet rush to evil, and they hurry to shed blood.
But a net is thrown in vain before the eyes of those who have wings.
Likewise, they lie in ambush against their own blood, and they undertake deceits against their own souls.
Thus, the ways of all those who are greedy seize the souls of those who possess.
Wisdom forewarns far and wide; she bestows her voice in the streets.
