16For atheir feet run to evil
And they hasten to shed blood.
17Indeed, it is 1useless to spread the baited net
In the sight of any 2bird;
18But they alie in wait for their own blood;
They ambush their own lives.

They rush to commit evil deeds.
They hurry to commit murder.
If a bird sees a trap being set,
it knows to stay away.
But these people set an ambush for themselves;
they are trying to get themselves killed.
