Proverbs12:6
6. The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood : but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them .
Are designed and ordered to intrap or deceive others, and to destroy them.
To wit, from those that lie in wait for them: which it doth, either 1. by prayer to God for their deliverance: Or 2. by pacifying the wicked with soft and gentle answers, or by diverting them from their evil course by their good counsels and admonitions: Or 3. by pleading their righteous cause in a judicial or other way.
