Ainsi ceux-ci dressent des embûches contre le sang de ceux-là, et épient secrètement leurs vies.
et eux, ils sont aux embûches contre leur propre sang, ils se cachent pour guetter leurs propres âmes.
Et eux, c'est contre leur propre sang qu'ils dressent des embûches, C'est à leur âme qu'ils tendent des pièges.

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
Verse Proverbs 1:18. 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.
