Proverbs 1:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ For they run right away, every time, to do wrong,
    and they are thirsty for blood.
¹⁷ You see, it makes no sense to bait the net and set the trap
    while the bird is watching,
¹⁸ 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.
