Snare:
"a trap, a snare" (akin to pegnumi, "to fix," and pagideuo, "to ensnare," which see), is used metaphorically of
(a) the allurements to evil by which the Devil "ensnares" one, 1Ti 3:7; 2Ti 2:26;
(b) seductions to evil, which "ensnare" those who "desire to be rich," 1Ti 6:9;
(c) the evil brought by Israel upon themselves by which the special privileges Divinely granted them and centering in Christ, became a "snare" to them, their rejection of Christ and the Gospel being the retributive effect of their apostasy, Rom 11:9;
(d) of the sudden judgments of God to come upon those whose hearts are "overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life," Luk 21:34 (ver. 35 in AV).
