Sprueche 1:18 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 1:18

And they lay wait for their [own] blood
While they lie in wait for the blood of others, they lie in wait for their own; and when they shed the blood of innocent persons, it in the issue comes upon their own heads, and is the cause of their own blood being shed; vengeance pursues them, and justice will not suffer them to live; they lurk privily for their [own] lives:
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.

Sprueche 1:18 In-Context

16 denn ihre Füße laufen dem Bösen zu, und sie eilen, Blut zu vergießen.
17 Denn vergeblich wird das Netz ausgespannt vor den Augen alles Geflügelten;
18 sie aber lauern auf ihr eigenes Blut, stellen ihren eigenen Seelen nach.
19 So sind die Pfade aller derer, welche der Habsucht frönen: sie nimmt ihrem eigenen Herrn das Leben.
20 Die Weisheit schreit draußen, sie läßt auf den Straßen ihre Stimme erschallen.
