The Anatomy of Murder
Commentators break down this verse to show a clear progression from internal sin to a fatal act. The crime begins with hatred in the heart, moves to premeditation ('lie in wait'), and culminates in the physical act of murder. This highlights how unchecked internal attitudes can lead to devastating external actions.
