The Lifecycle of Sin
Commentators explain this verse using the metaphor of pregnancy. Sin begins as a 'conception' in the mind—meditating on and planning evil. It is then 'brought forth' as an action, which the Bible calls 'iniquity' or 'vanity' because it is ultimately empty and worthless. As John Gill notes, this process mirrors James 1:15, which warns that sin, when fully grown, brings forth death.
