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.
Rather, he spieth about like the crouching down of fowlers; they have set the fatal snare; "they catch men."
Trap - literally, "The destroyer;" it was probably a gin, which strangled the birds caught in it.
5:26 They catch - Such a trap did Jezebel lay for Naboth, 21:9 ,10. Such an one was that conspiracy of morethan forty men against Paul, Acts 23:13 - 15.
