Job 18:8

For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.

Job 18:8 · BSB

Job 18:8 in context

The verses around it, from Job 18.

4 You who tear yourself in anger—should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?

5 Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.

6 The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.

7 His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.

8 For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.

9 A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him.

10 A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.

11 Terrors frighten him on every side and harass his every step.

12 His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.
