SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:9

Lazo prenderá su calcañar; esforzará contra él los sedientos.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 18:9

Verse 9. The gin shall take him ] Houbigant reads the tenth before the ninth verse, thus: "The
snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him." From the beginning of the seventh verse to the end of the thirteenth there is an allusion to the various arts and methods practiced in hunting. 1. A number of persons extend themselves in a forest, and drive the game before them, still straitening the space from a broad base to a narrow point in form of a triangle, so that the farther they go the less room have they on the right and left, the hunters lining each side, while the drovers with their dogs are coming up behind. "The steps of his strength shall be straitened," ver. 7. 2. Nets, gins, and pitfalls, are laid or formed in different places, so that many are taken before they come to the point where the two lines close. "He is cast into a net, he walketh upon a snare-the trap is laid for him in the way-the snare in the ground," ver. 8-10. 3. The howling of the dogs, with the shouts of the huntsmen, fill him with dismay, and cause him to run himself beyond his strength and out of breath. "Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet," ver. 11. 4. While spent with hunger and fatigue, he is entangled in the spread nets; and the huntsman either pierces him with an arrow or spear, or cuts the sinews of his legs, so that he is easily captured and destroyed. "The robbers shall prevail against him," ver. 9. "His strength is hunger-bitten, and destruction is ready at his side," ver. 12.

This latter verse is thus paraphrased by the Chaldee: "Let his first-born son be famished; and affliction be prepared for his wife."


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 5-10 - Bildad describes the miserable condition of a wicked man; in whic there is much certain truth, if we consider that a sinful condition is a sad condition, and that sin will be men's ruin, if they do no repent. Though Bildad thought the application of it to Job was easy yet it was not safe nor just. It is common for angry disputants to ran their opponents among God's enemies, and to draw wrong conclusions from important truths. The destruction of the wicked is foretold. Tha destruction is represented under the similitude of a beast or bir caught in a snare, or a malefactor taken into custody. Satan, as he wa a murderer, so he was a robber, from the beginning. He, the tempter lays snares for sinners wherever they go. If he makes them sinful lik himself, he will make them miserable like himself. Satan hunts for the precious life. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare for himself, and God is preparing for his destruction. See here how the sinner runs himself into the snare.
