18:8 For he has been thrown into a net by his feet 1
and he wanders into a mesh. 2
1 tn See Ps 25:15.
2 tn The word שְׂבָכָה (sÿvakhah) is used in scripture for the lattice window (2 Kgs 1:2). The Arabic cognate means “to be intertwined.” So the term could describe a net, matting, grating, or lattice. Here it would be the netting stretched over a pit.
