Proverbs 29:5 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Spreadeth a net for his feet— Some render this for his own feet, applying it to the flatterer; and so the next verse is understood, which Houbigant translates thus: The wicked man falls himself into the snares which he lays for others; the just man shall deliver himself, and rejoice.

Proverbs 29:5

5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.
