and have been caught by the words you have spoken,
Footnotes
- 6 The term “if” does not appear in this line but is implied by the parallelism. It is supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity.
- 7 The verb יָקַשׁ (yaqash) means “to lay a bait; to lure; to lay snares.” In the Niphal it means “to be caught by bait; to be ensnared”—here in a business entanglement.
- 8 Heb “by the words of your mouth.” The same expression occurs at the end of the following line (cf. , , ). Many English versions vary the wording slightly, presumably for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy (e.g., , , , ).
