King James Translators' Notes

The wicked...: Heb. The snare of the wicked is in the transgression of lips

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

13, 14. The wicked is snared, &c.-The sentiment expanded. While the wicked, such as liars, flatterers, &c., fall by their own words, the righteous are unhurt. Their good conduct makes friends, and God rewards them.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

12:10. A godly man would not put even an animal to needless pain. But the wicked often speak of others as well used, when they would not endure like treatment for a single day. 11. It is men's wisdom to mind their business, and follow an honest calling. But it is folly to neglect business; and the grace of God teaches men to disdain nothing but sin. 12. When the ungodly see others prosper by sin, they wish they could act in the same way. But the root of Divine grace, in the heart of the righteous, produces other desires and purposes. 13. Many a man has paid dear in this world for the transgression of his lips.


Proverbs 11:8 The righteous is delivered from trouble, But the wicked takes his place.
Proverbs 21:23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards his soul from troubles.
2 Peter 2:9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment, (NASB ©1995)
