7 His strong steps are shortened,

and his own schemes throw him down.

8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet,

and he walks on its mesh.

9 A trap seizes him by the heel;

a snare lays hold of him.

10 A rope is hidden for him in the ground,

a trap for him in the path.

7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, And his own counsel shall cast him down. 8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walketh upon a snare. 9 The gin shall take him by the heel, And the robber shall prevail against him. 10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.

7 The confident stride of the wicked will be shortened.

Their own schemes will be their downfall.

8 The wicked walk into a net.

They fall into a pit.

9 A trap grabs them by the heel.

A snare holds them tight.

10 A noose lies hidden on the ground.

A rope is stretched across their path.

7 The steps of his strength are shortened,

And his own counsel casts him down.

8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet,

And he walks into a snare.

9 The net takes him by the heel,

And a snare lays hold of him.

10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground,

And a trap for him in the road.

7 Their strong steps will grow weak;

they will fall into their own evil traps.

8 Their feet will be caught in a net

when they walk into its web.

9 A trap will catch them by the heel

and hold them tight.

10 A trap for them is hidden on the ground,

right in their path.

7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened,

And his own counsel shall cast him down.

8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet,

And he walketh upon the toils.

9 A gin shall take him by the heel,

And a snare shall lay hold on him.

10 A noose is hid for him in the ground,

And a trap for him in the way.

7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. 8 For he is sent into the net by his own feet, and he walketh on the meshes; 9 The gin taketh him by the heel, the snare layeth hold on him; 10 A cord is hidden for him in the ground, and his trap in the way.

7 “His healthy stride is shortened, 

and his own planning trips him up. 

8 His own feet get him tangled in a net 

as he walks around on its webbing. 

9 A trap catches his heel. 

A snare holds him. 

10 A rope is hidden on the ground for him. 

A trap is on his path ⸤to catch⸥ him. 

7 His powerful stride is shortened,

and his own schemes trip him up.

8 For his own feet lead him into a net,

and he strays into its mesh.

9 A trap catches him by the heel;

a noose seizes him.

10 A rope lies hidden for him on the ground,

and a snare waits for him along the path.

7 Their strong steps are shortened,

and their own schemes throw them down.

8 For they are thrust into a net by their own feet,

and they walk into a pitfall.

9 A trap seizes them by the heel;

a snare lays hold of them.

10 A rope is hid for them in the ground,

a trap for them in the path.

7 “His strong steps are shortened,

and his own schemes throw him down,

8 for he is thrust into a net by his feet,

and he walks into a pitfall.

9 A trap seizes him by the heel;

a snare takes hold of him.

10 His rope is hidden in the ground,

and his trap on the path.

7 They walk more slowly than they used to.

Their own evil plans make them fall.

8 Their feet take them into a net.

They wander right into it.

9 A trap grabs hold of their heels.

It refuses to let them go.

10 A trap lies in their path.

A rope to catch them is hidden on the ground.

7 “His vigorous stride is shortened,

And his own scheme brings him down.

8 “For he is thrown into the net by his own feet,

And he steps on the webbing.

9 “A snare seizes him by the heel,

And a trap snaps shut on him.

10 “A noose for him is hidden in the ground,

And a trap for him on the path.
