- lay wait:
- or, pry as fowlers lie in wait, "Let a cryª be heardª° from their houses,ª¹ when¹ thou shalt bringª° a troopª suddenlyª upon¹ them: for¹ they have diggedª° a pitª°² to takeª° me, and hidª° snaresª for my feet.ª" {Jer 18:22} + "And Saulª soughtª° to smiteª° Davidª even to the wallª with the javelin;ª but he slipped awayª° out of Saul's² presence,ª¹¹ and he smoteª°¹ the javelinª into the wall:ª and Davidª fled,ª° and escapedª° that¹ night.ª ... Saulª also sentª° messengersª unto¹ David'sª house,ª to watchª° him, and to slayª° him in the morning:ª and Michalª David'sª wifeª toldª° him, saying,ª° If¹ thou saveª° not¹¹ thy lifeª to night,ª to morrowª thou¹ shalt be slain.ª°" {1Sm 19:10-11} + "He lieth in waitª° secretlyª as a lionª in his den:ª he lieth in waitª° to catchª° the poor:ª he doth catchª° the poor,ª when he drawethª° him into his net.ª ... He croucheth,ª° [and] humblethª° himself, that the poorª²°° may fallª° by his strong ones.ª" {Psa 10:9-10} + "They encourageª° themselves [in] an evilª matter:ª they communeª° of laying²° snares² privily;ª°¹ they say,ª° Who¹ shall seeª° them?" {Psa 64:5} + "If¹ they say,ª° Come²°¹ with¹ us, let us lay waitª° for blood,ª let us lurk²° privily¹ for the innocentª without cause:ª" {Prv 1:11} + "Surely¹ in vainª the netª is spreadª° in the sightª of any¹ bird.ªª ... And they¹ lay waitª° for their [own] blood;ª they lurk privilyª° for their [own] lives.ª" {Prv 1:17-18} + "And makestª° menª as the fishesª of the sea,ª as the creeping things,ª [that have] no¹ rulerª° over them? ... They take upª° all¹ of them with the angle,ª they catchª° them in their net,ª and gatherª° them in their drag:ª therefore¹¹ they rejoiceª° and are glad.ª°" {Hab 1:14-15}
