Proverbs 12:6

Verse 6

6. Are to lie in wait Are a lying in wait an ambush.

For blood That is, to shed blood, to take life. Compare Proverbs 1:11-18; Proverbs 11:9. Shall deliver them Namely, those whose blood is sought. It is implied that this shall be done by their counsels, advices, pleas, or prayers by what proceeds out of their mouth. “Men sincerely good give the best advice they can to deliver such innocent persons from their bloody snares.”

Patrick. But others understand that the upright shall deliver themselves.

The Speaker’s Commentary prefers the latter. Luke 20:3-7; Luke 20:19; Luke 20:41, seq.
