SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:17
¶ El hombre que hace violencia con sangre de persona, huirá hasta el sepulcro, y nadie le sustentará.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 28:17
Verse 17. That doeth violence to the blood ] He who either slays the innocent, or procures his destruction, may flee to hide himself: but let none give him protection. The law demands his life, because he is a murderer; and let none deprive justice of its claim. Murder is the most horrid crime in the sight of God and man; it scarcely ever goes unpunished, and is universally execrated.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. A man that doeth violence to the blood of [any] person , etc.] That sheds the blood of any in a violent manner; that lays violent hands upon a club, and takes away his life, contrary to the law in ( Genesis 9:6). Or, “that is pressed because of the blood of any person” f787 ; pressed in his own mind; filled with horror, and tortured in his conscience, for the innocent blood he has shed: the letter “daleth” in the word “Adam” is lesser than usual; and Vitringa, on ( Isaiah 34:6); observes, that it signifies a man red with blood, oppressed in his conscience, and depressed by God, which this minute letter is a symbol of; and thinks it applicable to Edom or Rome: or it signifies one pressed, pursued, and dose followed by the avenger of blood; shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him ; support or help him. When such a murderer flees, and is pursued, and unawares falls into a pit, or is like to do so, let no man warn him of it, or help him out of it; or if he flees to a pit to hide himself, let no man hold him or detain him there, or suffer him to continue in such a lurking place, but discover him or pluck him out; or, if he is a fugitive and a vagabond all his days, as Cain, the murderer of his brother, was, till he comes to the pit of the grave, let no man yield him any support or sustenance.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17 - The murderer shall be haunted with terrors. None shall desire to sav him from deserved punishment, nor pity him.
