Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people. Maurer, more literally, 'Thou hast consulted shame to thy house (namely) to destroy many' - i:e., in consulting (determining) to cut off many thou, hast consulted shame to thy house: 'to cut off' follows in construction "thou hast consulted," or 'determined.'
And hast sinned against thy soul - i:e., against thyself: thou art the guilty cause of thine own ruin (Proverbs 8:36; Proverbs 20:2, "Whose provoketh him, (the king) to anger, sinneth against his own soul"). They who wrong their neighbours do much greater wrong to their own souls.
