ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૧:૧૮
આ માણસો પોતાને જ મારી નાખવાને માટે સંતાઈ રહે છે, તેઓ પોતાના જ જીવને માટે ગુપ્ત રીતે છુપાઈ રહે છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन १:१८
और ये लोग तो अपनी ही हत्या करने के लिये घात लगाते हैं, और अपने ही प्राणों की घात की ताक में रहते हैं।

In context

16for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.

17For the net is spread in vain in the sight of any bird;

18but these lay in wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.

19So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.

20Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.
