Exegesis
The noun phrase ha-rashet {הָרָשֶׁת | hā-rā-šeṯ} functions as subject, and the construct chain b’einei kol ba’al kanaf {בְּעֵינֵי כָל־בַּעַל כָּנָף | bə-ʿê-nê kol baʿǎl kā-naf} marks the agents (every bird) as observers. Hebrew word order places emphasis on the opening adversative clause and the futility of laying visible traps.
In context — Proverbs 1:17
In vain the net is spread in the sight of every bird .
