SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:7
La boca del loco es quebrantamiento para sí, y sus labios son lazos para su alma.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. A fool’s mouth [is] his destruction , etc.] The cause of it; for his contentions, and quarrels, and evil speaking, lawsuits are commenced against him, which bring ruin upon himself and his family now; as well as for his idle and wicked words he will be condemned hereafter, ( Matthew 12:35); there is a world of iniquity in the mouth and tongue of a wicked man, which bring destruction upon himself and others, ( James 3:6,8); and his lips [are] the snare of his soul ; from speaking in his own defence, he says things which should not be said, and by which he is entangled yet more and more; he is caught by his own words and condemned by them; or his loquacity, in which he delights, is a snare unto him to say things which neither become him, nor are for his advantage, but the contrary; (see Proverbs 12:13).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6, 7 - What mischief bad men do to themselves by their ungoverned tongues!
