NASB
"So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence; It takes away the life of its possessors."
— Proverbs 1:19, NASB
“So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.”
“So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; It taketh away the life of the owners thereof. ”
“So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.”
“Such are the ways of all who gain profit unjustly; it takes away the life of those who obtain it!”
For their feet run to evil And they hasten to shed blood.
Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net In the sight of any bird;
But they lie in wait for their own blood; They ambush their own lives.
So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence; It takes away the life of its possessors.
Wisdom shouts in the street, She lifts her voice in the square;
At the head of the noisy streets she cries out; At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings:
"How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge?
