SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:16
porque sus pies correrán al mal, e irán presurosos a derramar sangre.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:16
Verse 16. For their feet run to evil ] The whole of this verse is wanting in the Septuagint, and in the Arabic.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. For their feet run to evil , etc.] To the evil of sin, to commit robberies and murder, and all manner of iniquity; they are eager upon it, and in haste and swift to do it, ( Proverbs 6:18) f22 ; being carried away with their inordinate affections, which are as feet to the soul; and drawn aside with their lusts, and pushed on by Satan, and, encouraged by one another, and so rush on headlong to the evil of punishment also; and which is a reason why their ways and paths should be abstained from, because they bring upon them swift destruction; it is to their own hurt they run, as Jarchi interprets it; though the first sense seems best to agree with what follows; and make haste to shed blood ; the blood of innocent persons, in order to get their substance, to cover their iniquity and shame, and that no information may be given of them; this is mentioned as having something very horrible in it, in order to deter from joining with them.
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?
