Contextual Overview
10My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them. 11If they say, "Come along with us; let's lie in wait for someone's blood, let's waylay some harmless soul; 12let's swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit; 13we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder; 14throw in your lot with us, and we will share a common purse"- 15my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; 16for their feet rush into sin, they are swift to shed blood. 17How useless to spread a net in full view of all the birds! 18These men lie in wait for their own blood; they waylay only themselves!19Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the lives of those who get it.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they lay wait for their own blood,.... While they lie in wait for the blood of others, they lie in wait for their own; and when they shed the blood of innocent persons, it in the issue comes upon their own heads, and is the cause of their own blood being shed; vengeance pursues them, and justice will not suffer them to live;
they lurk privily for their own lives: while they are lurking in secret places to take away, the lives of others, they are laying snares for their own souls; and the consequence of it will be, that they will be brought to a shameful and untimely end here, or, however, to everlasting ruin and destruction hereafter.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
They lay wait for their own blood - I believe it is the innocent who are spoken of here, for whose blood and lives these lay wait and lurk privily; certainly not their own, by any mode of construction.
