Swallowed by fear; pride before fracture

Symmachus: “panic.” With a whole mouth they swallowed and we were carried down into a depth of evils, having been filled with fear and confusion; for “into what he dug the sinner falls,” paying penalties of what he sinned. And since “before fracture insolence leads” according to Solomon—that is, arrogance—we were both lifted up and fractured. From which David sings: “let a foot of arrogance not come to me, and a hand of a sinner not shake me.”
