Proverbs 1:17-19
New King James Version

17 Surely, in [a]vain the net is spread
In the sight of any [b]bird;
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood,
They lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 (A)So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;
It takes away the life of its owners.

Proverbs 1:17-19
New International Version

17 How useless to spread a net
    where every bird can see it!
18 These men lie in wait(A) for their own blood;
    they ambush only themselves!(B)
19 Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain;
    it takes away the life of those who get it.(C)
