King James Version (KJV)

Proverbs 1:18

“And they lay wait for their [own] blood; they lurk privily for their [own] lives.”

Verse in context — Proverbs 1

For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

And they lay wait for their [own] blood; they lurk privily for their [own] lives.

So [are] the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; [which] taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

Wisdom sayings for godly living and practical life.
