Commentary on Proverbs 12:13
The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips, but the just shall come out of trouble. Sinful speech entraps the wicked - their own words become snare. Righteous persons escape trouble that wicked words create. This verse warns that verbal sins have consequences - lying, slander, and foolish speech entrap speakers. Conversely, righteous speech enables escape from dangers wicked speech creates.
