Exegesis
The second colon is joined by umalkudto {וּ֝מַלְכֻּדְתּ֗וֹ | ûmalqudətô} ‘and his trap’, continuing the parallel threat, and it is completed by the spatial phrase alei nativ {עֲלֵ֣י נָתִֽיב | ʿălê nāṯîḇ} ‘upon a path’, shifting from concealment in the ground to danger positioned directly in a traveler’s way. The possessive suffixes (“his”) make the peril personal, portraying the victim as surrounded by hidden and placed means of capture.
In context — Job 18:10
His cord is hidden in the earth, and his trap lies upon the path .
