TSK · Proverbs 1:11

He waits in ambush near the villages; in hidden places he kills the innocent. His eyes look for some unfortunate victim.

I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch me and dug a pit to trap me.

They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast,“Who will see them?”

but these men lie in wait for their own blood, they ambush their own lives!

Do not lie in wait like the wicked against the place where the righteous live; do not assault his home.

There is a generation whose teeth are like swords and whose molars are like knives to devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among the human race.

Before this I had been like a docile lamb ready to be led to the slaughter. I did not know they were making plans to kill me. I did not know they were saying,“Let’s destroy the tree along with its fruit! Let’s remove Jeremiah from the world of the living so people will not even be reminded of him any more.”

Faithful men have disappeared from the land; there are no godly men left. They all wait in ambush to shed blood; they hunt their own brother with a net.

Now this happened to fulfill the word that is written in their law,‘They hated me without reason.’

Requesting him to do them a favor against Paul, they urged Festus to summon him to Jerusalem, planning an ambush to kill him along the way.
