And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from the noise of the fear,.... From the fearful noise that will be made, the voices and thunderings heard in the heavens above, the sea and waves roaring below; or from wars, and rumours of wars, and terrible armies approaching and pursuing, Lu 21:25 or rather at the report of an object to be feared and dreaded by wicked men, even the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven, Re 1:7:shall fall into the pit; of ruin and destruction, dug for the wicked, Ps 94:13 just as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fell into the slime pits, when they fled from their conquerors, Ge 14:10:and he that comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare; the meaning is, that he that escapes one trouble should fall into another, so that there will be no safety anywhere.
