Proverbios 1:18 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 1:18

And they lay wait for their [own] blood

while they are lurking in secret places to take away, the lives of others, they are laying snares for their own souls; and the consequence of it will be, that they will be brought to a shameful and untimely end here, or, however, to everlasting ruin and destruction hereafter.
