Proverbs 1:17 in Context — Proverbs 1
15 Filho meu, não sigas teu caminho com eles; desvia teu pé [para longe] de onde eles passarem;
16 Porque os pés deles correm para o mal, e se apressam para derramar sangue.
17 Certamente [é] inútil se estender a rede diante da vista de todas as aves;
18 Porém estes estão esperando [o derramamento] de seu [próprio] sangue; e preparam emboscada para suas [próprias] almas.
19 Assim [são] os caminhos de todo aquele que tem ganância pelo lucro desonesto; ela tomará a alma daqueles que a tem.
