Pro. 1 AMP

Pro. 1: 18But [when these men set a trap for others] they are lying in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.

This is the fate of my own greed; that I ambush my own life.  I sabotage my own heart for the way I try to take what I want.  New Years resolutions don’t work because we aggressively violently beat ourselves up to take what we want from ourselves.  Pro. 1:  19So are the ways of everyone who is greedy of gain; such [greed for plunder] takes away the lives of its possessors.
