Job 18:8

For he has been thrown into a net by his feet ¹  and he wanders into a mesh. ² 

Es 3:9; Es 6:13; Es 7:5,10; Job 22:10; Ps 9:15; Ps 35:8; Pr 5:22; Pr 29:6; Eze 32:3; 1Ti 3:7; 1Ti 6:9; 2Ti 2:26

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.
