Proverbs 1:18 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 1:18
Solomon's commentary on the enticement: 'And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.' The irony is devastating—sinners think they're hunting victims but are actually destroying themselves. The boomerang of sin returns to the sender. This reflects the lex talionis (law of retaliation) principle: violent sin produces violent judgment. God's moral universe ensures that those who deal in blood will suffer blood. Self-destruction is sin's inevitable fruit.
