Psalms 58:8
a snail Shabbelool, in Chaldee tivlala, the snail, is probably so called from the Arabic balla, to wet, moisten, because of the glutinous slime emitted from its body, by which it appears to waste itself away in its own motion; and in the same manner the wicked prove their own destruction. pass Ps 37:35-36; Matt 24:35; Jas 1:10 untimely Job 3:16; Eccl 6:3
