Proverbs 1:17
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
How futile it is to spread the net where any bird can see it!
In context
15 my son, do not walk the road with them or set foot upon their path.
16 For their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed blood.
17 How futile it is to spread the net where any bird can see it!
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush their own lives.
19 Such is the fate of all who are greedy, whose unjust gain takes the lives of its possessors.
