Proverbs 18:7 - Exposition

The results of the fool's disposition and actions are further noted. A fool's mouth is his destruction (comp. Proverbs 10:15 ; Proverbs 13:9 ; Ecclesiastes 10:12 ). A mediaeval adage pronounces, "Ex lingua stulta veniunt incommoda multa." His lips are the snare of his soul; bring his life into danger (see on Proverbs 12:13 ; comp. Proverbs 13:14 ; Proverbs 14:27 ; Proverbs 17:28 ). So St. Luke ( Luke 21:35 ) speaks of the last day, coming upon men like "a snare ( παγίς )," the word used by the Septuagint in this passage.
