snare, trap; or possibly 'the thirsty' depending on textual reading
This obscure word appears in Job's wisdom speeches, with the meaning debated between 'snare' (based on parallel with 'trap') and 'thirsty people' (based on proposed emendation). If 'snare,' it describes a trap snapping at the wealth of the wicked or catching the foot of the unrighteous. If 'thirsty,' it refers to desperate people snatching at grain or wealth. The parallel with 'trap' in 18:9 supports the 'snare' interpretation, fitting Job's theme of divine justice catching the wicked in their own devices.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Job 5:5 and 18:9 use this term in contexts of the wicked being caught or trapped. Translations diverge: English offers 'snare' and 'the thirsty,' Spanish has 'lazo' (snare), French and German mostly transliterate, showing uncertainty. The lexical difficulty stems from the word's rarity and disputed etymology. In 18:9, the parallel with 'trap' (pach) strongly suggests a capturing device—'a trap catches his heel, a snare holds him fast.' This reading fits Job's repeated theme of divine retribution ensnaring the wicked in their own schemes. 2×
