Proverbs 1:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 1:17

Compare all

15 My son, ^ado not walk in the way with them,
^bKeep your foot from their path;

16 ^aFor their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.

17 Surely, in¹ vain the net is spread
In the sight of any¹ bird;

18 But they lie in wait for their own blood,
They lurk secretly for their own lives.

19 ^aSo are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;
It takes away the life of its owners.

She raises her voice in the open squares.

21 She cries out in the¹ chief concourses,
At the openings of the gates in the city
She speaks her words:
