And if they are bound in chains and caught in the cords of affliction,
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons,
The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
he has blocked my ways with blocks of stones; he has made my paths crooked.
The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.
the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
he keeps back his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword. “Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed and with continual strife in his bones,

You put my feet in the stocks and watch all my paths; you set a limit for the soles of my feet.
