Truly, to no purpose is the net stretched out before the eyes of the bird:

Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

“When He established the heavens, I [Wisdom] was there;
When He drew a circle upon the face of the deep,

A man who says smooth things to his neighbour is stretching out a net for his steps.

She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.

She stretches out her hand to the poor; yea, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.
