Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 29:10

10 The blood-thirsty hate the upright : but the just seek his soul .

And consequently seek their ruine, as is implied from the following clause.

Either 1. to require his Soul or Life at the hands of those who have taken it away. Or 2. to preserve it from those who attempt to take it away, as this Phrase is taken, Psal. 142. 4. though commonly it signifie to seek to destroy it.
