‏ Job 18:8

8 For he has been thrown into a net by his feet, ^{▼▼tn See Ps 25:15.}
and he wanders into a mesh. ^{▼▼tn The word שְׂבָכָה (sevakhah) is used in scripture for the lattice window (2 Kgs 1:2). The Arabic cognate means “to be intertwined.” So the term could describe a net, matting, grating, or lattice. Here it would be the netting stretched over a pit.}
