Proverbs 1:11
Compare all
9 For they will be a agraceful ornament on your head,
And chains about your neck. 
10 My son, if sinners entice you,
aDo not consent. 
11 If they say, “Come with us,
Let us alie in wait to shed blood;
Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; 
12 Let us swallow them alive like1 Sheol,
And whole, alike those who go down to the Pit; 
13 We shall find all kinds of precious1 possessions,
We shall fill our houses with1 spoil; 
14 Cast in your lot among us,
Let us all have one purse”—
15 My son, ado not walk in the way with them,
bKeep your foot from their path; 
16 aFor their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood. 
17 Surely, in1 vain the net is spread
In the sight of any1 bird; 
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood,
They lurk secretly for their own lives.

Proverbs 1:11

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.
