Gill's Notes on the Bible
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue,.... 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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Vanity - Or, âa breath driven to and fro of those that are seeking death.â Another reading of the last words is: âof the snares of deathâ (compare 1 Timothy 6:9). Some commentators have suggested that the âvaporâ or âmistâ is the mirage of the desert, misleading those who follow it, and becoming a ânet of death.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 21:6. Of them that seek death — Instead of ×××§×©× mebakshey, "them that seek," several MSS., some ancient editions, with Symmachus, the Septuagint, Vulgate, and Arabic, have ××§×©× 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.
