Net: Figurative

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

…then understand that it is God who has wronged me and drawn His net around me.

The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.

My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.

You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.

For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.

May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.

They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it! Selah

You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.

The proud hide a snare for me; the cords of their net are spread along the path, and lures are set out for me. Selah

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.

The wicked desire the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.

A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a net, and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is ensnared.

For surely no man knows his time: Like fish caught in a cruel net or birds trapped in a snare, so men are ensnared in an evil time that suddenly falls upon them.

Then the fishermen will mourn, all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.

She will become a place to spread nets in the sea, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD. She will become plunder for the nations,

I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread the fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the LORD, have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.’

Fishermen will stand by the shore; from En-gedi to En-eglaim they will spread their nets to catch fish of many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea.

As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air. I will chastise them when I hear them flocking together.
