And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
13My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
"Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird (Pr.1:17)". It is thus the devil sets trap to take the foolish in his net. Here we are considering the entire house of Israel for their many sins of commission and omission. In general terms they played ducks and drakes with the Law by treating the Law of Moses literally. If Constitution can be argued for and against at face value is it to be wondered at that the nation would end up as a rebellious house? For example we have in the Gospel of John an incident of a woman taken in adultery. "In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.Now what do you say? They were using this question as a trap,in order to have a basis for accusing him.(8:5-6-NIV) " In the end the Pharisees and scribes could not settle the matter because their own conscience proved they were incapable. Their heart was not right in the first place: they consulted Jesus on the point of law showed why. Secondly their own sinful nature convicted them.
The net as we associate with the Roman gladiator is to get the opponent entangled in it. We shall consider the net used by gladiator. A gladiator with a net was a retiarus or literally net-man (The word reticule or woman's purse with draw string is derived from it.). He fought with a trident, which we can for our intent and purpose name as famine pestilence and sword. In order to finish off the man taken in the net he has his sword. His additional weapon is a dagger (pugio). Nations that disobey the commandment of God are taken in a net.
