The steps of his strength will be shortened.
His own counsel will cast him down.

will the earth be forsaken for you?
Or will the rock be removed out of its place?

The spark of his fire won’t shine.

His lamp above him will be put out.

and he wanders into its mesh.

A snare will take him by the heel.
A trap will catch him.

a trap for him on the path.
