¹⁷ Terror^(A) and pit and snare^(B) await you,
    people of the earth.^(C)
18 Whoever flees^(D) at the sound of terror
    will fall into a pit;^(E)
whoever climbs out of the pit
    will be caught in a snare.^(F)

The floodgates of the heavens^(G) are opened,
    the foundations of the earth shake.^(H)

⁸ Then the nations^(A) came against him,
    those from regions round about.
They spread their net^(B) for him,
    and he was trapped in their pit.^(C)

¹² When they go, I will throw my net^(A) over them;
    I will pull them down like the birds in the sky.
When I hear them flocking together,
    I will catch them.
