jeremiah 5:26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

jeremiah 5:26 'For wicked men are found among My people, They watch like fowlers lying in wait; They set a trap, They catch men.

26. (Pr 1:11, 17, 18; Hab 1:15).
as he that setteth snares--rather, "as fowlers crouch" [MAURER].
trap--literally, "destruction": the instrument of destruction.
catch men--not as Peter, to save (Lu 5:10), but to destroy men.

jeremiah 5:26 'For wicked men are found among My people, They watch like fowlers lying in wait; They set a trap, They catch men.
