Proverbs 21:6

a vanity&c. Lit. a vapour dispersed; seekers of death. Thus in the abrupt, sententious style of the wisdom of the East the end is described both of the treasures so sought, and of those who so seek them. "A vapour dispersed," unsubstantial and vanishing away are the treasures gotten by a lying tongue; "seekers of death," men whose pursuit will end in their own destruction, are those who so acquire them. By the change of a letter in the Heb. word the LXX., Vulgate, and R.V. marg. have snạres(instead of seekers) of death.
