On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

They are slaves to the worst of task-masters; he is the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience, Eph. ii. They are taken in a snare, and in the worst snare, because it is the devil's; they are as fishes that are taken in n evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

However, different Greek pronouns stand for "him" and "his"; and the Greek for "taken captive" means not "captured for destruction," but "for being saved alive," as in Lu 5:10, "Thou shalt catch men to save them unto life"; also there is no article before the Greek participle, which the English Version "who are taken captive," would require.
