Job 18:8 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

For he is cast into a net - His own conduct will infallibly bring him to ruin. He shall be like a wild beast taken in a net; the more he flounces in order to extricate himself, the more he shall be entangled.

He walketh upon a snare - He is continually walking on the meshes of a net, by which he must soon be entangled and overthrown.
