Footnotes
- 23 Or “in its den.”
- 24 The verb, which also appears in the next line, occurs only here and in Judg 21:21.
- 25 The singular form is collective (see v. 10) or refers to the typical or representative oppressed individual.
- 26 Or “when he [i.e., the wicked man] pulls in his net.” The background of the imagery is hunting, where the hunter uses a net to entrap an unsuspecting bird or wild animal.
