Net » A snare for men
They
My very life was bowed down.
They dug a pit before me;
Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah.
Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net
In the sight of any bird;
A man who flatters his neighbor [with smooth words intending to do harm]
Is spreading a net for his own feet.
The godly person [who is faithful and loyal to God] has perished from the earth,
And there is no upright person [one with good character and moral integrity] among men.
They all lie in wait to shed blood;
Each hunts the other with a net.
