Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
I think it would be possible to think of this verse as the theme of the book of Proverbs. Come to think of it, it could be the theme of the entire Bible.
We have enemies, both physical and spiritual. This world, the flesh, and the devil are opposed to us. There are nets and traps of all sorts scattered about all around us. If it isn’t something that is harmful to our health it is someone looking for an easy victim. In the spiritual realm false teachers, antichrists, and dangerous religions are just about on every corner. Jesus said that some of them would be so convincing that, if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect.
But the Bible reveals these nets and traps. The believers who keep their eyes on the book will see those nets for what they are.
We’ve just got to get hold of our attention, so we are in the Word of God as we ought to be.
