The trap shall take him by the heel, and a snare shall lay hold of him.
All Commentaries on Job 18:9 Go To Job 18
Olympiodorus of Alexandria
AD 570
Bildad says these things using the metaphor of the birds or the animals that are captured in the hunt. In fact, as they can no longer escape after falling into snares and nets, so the impious are caught by inevitable calamities that overwhelm them. And what is worse, after all their schemes have been overturned and reversed, their riches are taken away from them not by the powerful but by people of the lowest class.
