Proverbs 1:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ How useless it is to spread a net
    where every bird can see it!
¹⁸ Those who hide and wait will spill their own blood.
    They will be caught in their own trap.
¹⁹ That’s what happens to everyone
    who goes after money in the wrong way.
That kind of money takes away
    the life of those who get it.
