The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them,…. From death, as in Pr 11:4; and from falling by sin, totally and finally; or into it, so as to perish eternally; as well as it shall deliver those out of Babylon, who are the Lord’s people, that will be found therein when that is about to fall; see Re 18:4;
but transgressors shall be taken in [their own] naughtiness; in the very act of sin, and be punished for it; taken in it as in a net, and which they have spread for others, or as in a pit, which they have dug for others; taken as wild beasts are taken, to be destroyed; and that in the very midst of their wickedness, when fighting against God and the Lamb, as the beast and false prophet will, Re 19:20.

6 The rectitude of the upright saveth them,
And in their own covetousness are the faithless taken.
The integrity of those who go straight forward and straight through, without permitting themselves to turn aside on crooked ways, delivers them from the snares which are laid for them, the dangers they encounter; while, on the contrary, the faithless, though they mask their intentions ever so cunningly, are ensnared in their passionate covetousness: the mask is removed, they are convicted, and are caught and lost. Regarding , abyss, overthrow, also stumbling against anything = covetousness, vid., at Pro 10:3, and under Psa 5:10. The form of the expression 6b follows the scheme, “in the image of God created He man,” Gen 9:6. The subject is to be taken from the genitive, as is marked by the accentuation, for it gives Mugrash to the , as if it were the principal form, for .

(6) In their own naughtiness.Rather, passionate desire, as at Pro. 10:3. Their own strong passions are their ruin.

6. Upright transgressors This seems a repetition of the sentiment of the previous verse in a little different form.
Naughtiness Badness; might also be rendered desire (so Miller and Stuart) and wickedness. A literal reading would be, by the wickedness (or greedy desire) of the perfidious shall they be captured: that is, their own bad propensities shall lead them into the snare. Comp. Pro 11:3; Pro 10:3; Gen 9:6.

Pro 11:6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
Pro 11:6
Comments – It was David’s life of righteousness that allowed God to work in his life and bring him deliverance time after time. God’s angels encamp about those that fear Him and He delivers them (Psa 34:7).
Psa 34:7, “The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.”
Pro 11:6 “but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness” Word Study on “taken” Strong says the Hebrew word “taken” ( ) (H3920) is a primitive word that means, “to catch (in a net, a trap a pit),” and it also means, “to capture or to occupy.” .” The Enhanced Strong says this Hebrew word is used 121 times in the Old Testament, being translated in the KJV as, “take 112, catch 5, at all 1, frozen 1, holden 1, stick together 1.”
Comments – The very plans that men use to destroy others unjustly will be the plans that are used to destroy themselves. We see this illustrated in the plans of Haman to destroy the Jews. He built gallows fifty cubits high in an effort to destroy Mordecai, when he himself would become the one to hang from it.
We see how King Saul attempted to take the life of David in battle, calling him a threat to the nation as a way of justifying his death. Saul considered David a threat to the throne, which he believed belonged to his sons. Saul himself eventually died in battle, along with his sons, cutting off his seed to the throne.
Pro 11:6 Comments – The righteous are “snatched” from harm’s way, while the transgressors are “caught or trapped” and held bondage in their sins.
Scripture References – Note similar verses.
Pro 1:31, “Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.”
Pro 14:14, “The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.”

Pro 11:6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in [their own] naughtiness.
Ver. 6. The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them. ] As Noah’s integrity prevailed for his safety. Many are the troubles of the righteous, but out of them all they are sure to be delivered. No country hath more venomous creatures than Egypt – none more antidotes. So godliness hath many troubles, and as many helps against trouble. As Moses’ hand, it turns a serpent into a rod; and as the tree that Moses cast into the waters of Marsh, it sweeteneth the bitter waters of affliction. Well may it be called the divine nature, for as God brings light out of darkness, &c., so doth grace.
But transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

Pro 11:6
Pro 11:6
“The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; But the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity.”
“This is an emphatic reiteration of Pro 11:5. The indulgence of their passions destroys sinners.” Another rendition is, “The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.
Pro 11:6. Ones righteousness that has directed him (Pro 11:5) also delivers him from many a destruction. A treacherous person is one bent on injuring another for his own sinful gain. But such are often taken in the plot they laid for others: Psa 9:15; Pro 5:22; Ecc 10:8.
