For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. They lay wait, as he that setteth snares - A metaphor taken from fowlers, who, having fixed their nets, lie down and keep out of sight, that when birds come, they may be ready to draw and entangle them.
