King James Bible - Proverbs 21:6

The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:6

¶ Allegar tesoros con lengua de mentira, es vanidad desatentada de aquellos que buscan la muerte.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 21:6

Verse 6. Of them that
seek death ] Instead of yqbm mebakshey, "them that seek," several MSS., some ancient editions, with Symmachus, the Septuagint, Vulgate, and Arabic, have yqm mokeshey, the snares. He who gets treasures by a lying tongue, pursues vanity into the snares of death. Our common translation may be as good. But he who, by the snares of his tongue, endeavours to buy and sell to the best advantage, is pursuing what is empty in itself; and he is ensnared by death, while he is attempting to ensnare others.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 6. The getting of
treasures by a lying tongue , etc.] By telling lies in trade; by bearing false witness in a court of judicature; or by preaching false doctrines in the church of God: [is] a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death : such treasures, though ever so great, are like any light thing, smoke or vapour, straw, stubble, chaff, or a feather, tossed about the wind; which is expressive of the instability uncertainty of riches ill gotten; they do not last long, but are taken away and carried off by one providence or another; and they are likewise harmful and pernicious; they issue in death: and those that seek after them, and obtain them in a bad way, are said to seek death: not intentionally, but eventually; this they certainly find, if grace prevent not; see ( Proverbs 8:36). Jarchi reads it, they are the snares of death to him; and so the Septuagint version.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6 - While men
seek wealth by unlawful practices, they seek death.
