And they lay wait for their own blood; They lurk privily for their own lives.
But [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.
And these lay wait for their own blood; They lurk privily for their own lives.
But these sinners set up a deadly ambush; they lie in wait for their own lives.
Likewise, they lie in ambush against their own blood, and they undertake deceits against their own souls.
And they themselves lie in wait for their own blood, and practise deceits against their own souls.

But by your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.
