"For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird:"
— Proverbs 1:17, World English Bible
“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.”
You shall cast your lot among us. We'll all have one purse."
My son, don't walk in the way with them. Keep your foot from their path,
for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.
For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird:
but these lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.
So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.
Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.
