Thematic Bible: Snared


Thematic Bible



Anyone causing the upright to go wandering in an evil way, will himself go down into the hole he has made; but the upright will have good things for their heritage.

His feet take him into the net, and he goes walking into the cords.

The nations have gone down into the hole which they made: in their secret net is their foot taken.

He who makes a hole for others will himself go into it, and for him who makes a hole through a wall the bite of a snake will be a punishment.

Thorns and nets are in the way of the twisted: he who keeps watch over his soul will be far from them.

He who makes a hole in the earth will himself go falling into it: and on him by whom a stone is rolled the stone will come back again.

In the steps of an evil man there is a net for him, but the upright man gets away quickly and is glad.

And numbers of them, falling on the stone, will be broken, and will be taken in the net.
