He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

He lieth in wait {H693} secretly {H4565} as a lion {H738} in his den {H5520}: he lieth in wait {H693} to catch {H2414} the poor {H6041}: he doth catch {H2414} the poor {H6041}, when he draweth {H4900} him into his net {H7568}.

Lurking unseen like a lion in his lair, he lies in wait to pounce on the poor, then seizes the poor and drags him off in his net.

He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.

He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.
