An evil man is ensnared in his transgression, but a righteous man sings and rejoices.
and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
For man does not know his time. Like fish that are taken in an evil net, and like birds that are caught in a snare, so the children of man are snared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.
Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying, “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Glad songs of salvation are in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the Lord does valiantly,
Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
His strong steps are shortened, and his own schemes throw him down. For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on its mesh. A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare lays hold of him. A rope is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the path.
Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,
Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
And he will become a sanctuary and a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many shall stumble on it. They shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.”
An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous escapes from trouble.
The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy.
And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.
The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight, but the wicked falls by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust.
