'Lives' in the Bible

But [when these people set a trap for others] they lie in wait for their own blood;They set an ambush for their own lives [and rush to their destruction].

So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;Greed takes away the lives of its possessors.

The fruit of the [consistently] righteous is a tree of life,And he who is wise captures and wins souls [for God—he gathers them for eternity].

A truthful witness saves lives,But he who speaks lies is treacherous.
