And they lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
And these lay wait for their own blood; They lurk privily for their own lives.
But [when these people set a trap for others] they lie in wait for their own blood; They set an ambush for their own lives [and rush to their destruction].
But [when these men set a trap for others] they are lying in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.
And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
but they set an ambush to kill themselves; they attack their own lives.
but they set an ambush to kill themselves; they attack their own lives.
But these sinners set up a deadly ambush; they lie in wait for their own lives.
rather, they are ambushing themselves to shed their own blood, waylaying themselves.
They gang up to murder someone, but they are the victims.
And these lay wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own lives.
And they themselves lie in wait for their own blood, and practise deceits against their own souls.
But evil people cannot see the trap they set for themselves.
These wicked men hide to attack someone. They are ready to kill someone, but they destroy their own lives!
Yet they set up an ambush for their own blood. They hide in ambush to take their own lives.
but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.
but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.
But sinners will ·fall into their own traps [L set up a deadly ambush]; they ·will only catch [L lie in wait for] themselves!
So they lay wait for blood, and lie privily for their lives.
But these people set an ambush for their own murder. They go into hiding only to lose their lives.
but people like that are setting a trap for themselves, a trap in which they will die.

These men are setting their own trap. They will only catch themselves!

But they lie in wait for their own blood; They ambush their own lives.
They lie in wait for their own blood. They ambush their own lives.
but not these men; they trap themselves! They lay a booby trap for their own lives.
Pay close attention, friend, to what your father tells you; never forget what you learned at your mother’s knee. Wear their counsel like a winning crown, like rings on your fingers. Dear friend, if bad companions tempt you, don’t go along with them. If they say—“Let’s go out and raise some hell. Let’s beat up some old man, mug some old woman. Let’s pick them clean and get them ready for their funerals. We’ll load up on top-quality loot. We’ll haul it home by the truckload. Join us for the time of your life! With us, it’s share and share alike!”— Oh, friend, don’t give them a second look; don’t listen to them for a minute. They’re racing to a very bad end, hurrying to ruin everything they lay hands on. Nobody robs a bank with everyone watching, Yet that’s what these people are doing— they’re doing themselves in. When you grab all you can get, that’s what happens: the more you get, the less you are.
They lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own lives.
But these people set an ambush for their own murder. They go into hiding only to lose their lives.
They lie in wait for their own blood, they set a trap for their own lives.
But they lie in wait for their own blood; They ambush their own lives.
But they lie in wait for their own blood; They ambush their own lives.
These men lie in wait for their own blood and set an ambush against themselves.
But sinners will fall into their own traps; they will only catch themselves!
but these men lie in wait for their own blood, they ambush their own lives!
Those who hide and wait will spill their own blood. They will be caught in their own trap.
These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves!
These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves!
But they lie in wait for their own blood, They lurk secretly for their own lives.
They set traps for their own lives and wait to die.
But these people set an ambush for themselves; they are trying to get themselves killed.
yet they lie in wait—to kill themselves! and set an ambush—for their own lives!
yet they lie in wait—to kill themselves! and set an ambush—for their own lives!
yet they lie in wait—to kill themselves! and set an ambush—for their own lives!
yet they lie in wait—to kill themselves! and set an ambush—for their own lives!
And they lie in wait for their own dahm; they lurk secretly for their own nafshot.
So they lay in wait for blood and lie secretly for their lives.
but these men lie in wait for their own blood, they set an ambush for their own lives.
but these men lie in wait for their own blood, they set an ambush for their own lives.
But they lie in wait for their own blood. They ambush their own lives.
But these hiding in the shadows and waiting to spill innocent blood are really just hastening their own destruction! By giving in to their sinful desires, they set themselves up to be ambushed.
but these lay in wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.
Also they set ambush against their own blood; and make ready frauds, or guiles, against their (own) souls.
And they for their own blood lay wait, They watch secretly for their own lives.
