SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:11
Si dijeren: Ven con nosotros, espiemos a alguno para matarle, acechemos al inocente sin razón;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:11
Verse 11. If they say, Come with us ] From all accounts, this is precisely the way in which the workers of iniquity form their partisans, and constitute their marauding societies to the present day. Let us lay wait for blood ] Let us rob and murder.
Let us lurk privily ] Let us lie in ambush for our prey.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. If they say, come with us , etc.] Leave your father’s house, and the business of life in which you are; make one of us, and become a member of our society, and go along with us upon the highway; let us lay wait for blood ; lie in ambush under some hedge or another, waiting till a rich traveller comes up and passes that way, and then rise and shed his blood in order to get his money; and the same word signifies both “blood” and “money”, and wait is laid for one for the sake of the other; let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause ; or “let us hide” f16 , the Vulgate Latin version adds “snares”; so Vatablus and others, as the fowler does for birds; or “let us hide ourselves” f17 ; in some private place, waiting “for the innocent”, the harmless traveller, who has done no injury to any man’s person or property; thinks himself safe, and is not aware of any design upon him; going about his lawful business, and having done nothing to provoke such miscreants to attempt his life or take away his property: and which they do “without cause” as to him; “freely” as to themselves; and “with impunity” f19 , as they promise themselves and one another; all which senses the word used will bear.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-19 - Wicked people are zealous in seducing others into the paths of the destroyer: sinners love company in sin. But they have so much the mor to answer for. How cautious young people should be! "Consent thou not. Do not say as they say, nor do as they do, or would have thee to do have no fellowship with them. Who could think that it should be pleasure to one man to destroy another! See their idea of worldl wealth; but it is neither substance, nor precious. It is the ruinou mistake of thousands, that they overvalue the wealth of this world. Me promise themselves in vain that sin will turn to their advantage. The way of sin is down-hill; men cannot stop themselves. Would young people shun temporal and eternal ruin, let them refuse to take one step i these destructive paths. Men's greediness of gain hurries them upo practices which will not suffer them or others to live out half their days. What is a man profited, though he gain the world, if he lose his life? much less if he lose his soul?
