MURDER

NIV
1:17 - How useless to spread a net in full view of all the birds;
1:18 - These men lie in wait for their own blood; they waylay only themselves!
1:19 - Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the lives of those who get it.
6:16 - There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him:
6:17 - haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
6:18 - a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,
6:19 - a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

NASB
1:17 - Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net in the sight of any bird;
1:18 - But they lie in wait for their own blood; They ambush their own lives.
1:19 - So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence; It takes away the life of its possessors.
6:16 - There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:
6:17 - Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
6:18 - A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil,
6:19 - A false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers.

KJV
1:17 - Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
1:18 - And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
1:19 - So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
6:16 - These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
6:17 - A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
6:18 - An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
6:19 - A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
