    In Hosea 9:8, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause describing a prophet in relation to a snare on all his ways; the APB renders the verse, "a prophet is a fowler's snare on all his ways."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Hosea 9:8, the APB presents the image with "a fowler's snare." Its precise assignment of "fowler's" to the Hebrew noun cannot be confirmed from the English alone.
