John Trapp on Job 18:8

Verſe 8. For he is caſt into a net by his own feet.] Wicked men are even ambitious of deſtruction: judgements need not go to find them out: they run to meet their bane. Divine Juſtice and their own indiſcretion undo them. He hath ſent his feet into the net. ſo the Vulgar rendreth it. He is ſent into a net by his own feet, ſo Mr. Broughton. His own iniquities ſhall take the wicked himſelf, and he ſhall be holden with the cords of his ſins, Prov. 5.22. theſe ſhall caſt him into inextricable ſtraits.

And he walketh upon a ſuare.] Ʋpon a platted grin, ſaith Broughton; whereout the more he ſtrives to get, the more he entangleth himſelf.Sen de ira lib. 3 cap. 6. Sic laqueas fera dum jactat aſtringit. Sic aves viſcum dum trepidantes excutiunt, plumis omnibus illinunt. So the beaſt whilſt he toſſeth the ſnares wherein he is taken, ſtraitneth them: So the birds, while they think to ſhake off the birdlime, beſmeare all their feathers with it.
