Birds » Illustrative » (snaring,) of designs of the wicked
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: read more.
We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: 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.

Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
