The imagery of a "net" is often used in the Bible to describe a trap or a situation that ensnares someone (e.g., Psalm 9:15, Psalm 25:15). In the historical context, this could refer to times when Israel faced captivity or oppression, such as the Babylonian exile. Theologically, it reflects the belief that God is sovereign over all circumstances, including those that are challenging or difficult. This can be seen as a test of faith, where God refines and strengthens His people through adversity, similar to the testing of Job or the trials faced by Joseph in Egypt.

But Aquila, Symmachus, and Jerome prefer the usual meaning, "stronghold" (2Samuel 5:7, &c), which is more in keeping with the other images of violence and oppression. The fortress, the hard labour, the subjection as by foes riding over the vanquished, the passage through fire and water, all raise a picture of the direst tyranny.Verse 11. - Thou broughtest us into the net. Professor Cheyne translates "into the dungeon." But m'tsudah has nowhere else this meaning. It is always either "a net" or "a stronghold." Thou laidst affliction upon oar loins; or, a sore burden (Revised Version). The meaning is, "Thou crushedst us down under a heavy weight of oppression." Parallel Commentaries ...
