Evil and violent men set traps and lay snares for the righteous. This puts me in mind of the serpent in the Garden of Eden. Eve had no thought in her heart to disobey God when she woke up that morning, but she stumbled into a trap, cleverly laid by the serpent, which was hidden from her. He used the poison of words to set it. Not only does the evil one set traps to trip up our feet, but he also hides cords, which are means of bondage. We can bind ourselves up into bondages, captivity, when we do not discern evil words but merely accept and agree with what is being said, without comparing it critically to the truth of God’s word, our plumb line. But by discerning the truth, we can be free from those cords, for Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free,” (Joh 8:32).
