Proverbios 12:6 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 12:6

The words of the wicked [are] to lie in wait for blood
Which some understand of perjury and false witness, as Jarchi, whereby the lives of innocent persons are taken away: or it may be interpreted either of the smooth words and fair speeches, and secret artifices, antichrist and his emissaries make use of to entrap the innocent, and draw them into their net, to their ruin; see ( Psalms 10:7-10 ) ; as the Jews attempted to deal with Christ, ( Luke 20:20 Luke 20:21 ) ; or of the laws and edicts of the beast, that such should be killed who would not worship his image; and with the blood of these innocent ones the whore of Rome is said to be drunk, ( Revelation 13:15 ) ( 17:6 ) ; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them:
the innocent laid in wait for; either by their prayers to God, which are of great avail with him, and through whose importunity he will avenge his elect, and deliver them; or through their apologies for them, and defences of them, as in the times of Pagan persecution; or rather through the doctrines of the reformation, whereby many simple and unwary souls were delivered, who were in danger of being ensnared; and whereby the eyes of many princes were opened, and were stirred up to protect those innocent ones, and prevent their blood being shed.
