# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Bildad continues to speak and uses three parallel images to describe how suddenly the wicked person will experience disaster. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
|

|
# A trap will take him ... a snare will
|
|
|
|
These four phrases speak of the wicked man experiencing disaster as if he were caught in a trap. Alternate translation: "It will be as though a trap will take him ... a snare will" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# A trap
|
|
|
|
People used this kind of trap to catch birds. The trap snapped shut and held on to the foot of the bird.
|
|
|
|
# will take him by the heel
|
|
|
|
Here the "heel" refers to the whole foot. Alternate translation: "will take hold of his foot" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
