Proverbs 1:12
Compare all
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”—

Proverbs 1:12

i. e., "We will be as all-devouring as Sheol. The destruction of those we attack shall be as sudden as that of those who go down quickly into the pit." Some render the latter clause, and upright men as those that go down to the pit. "Pit" here is a synonym for Sheol, the great cavernous depth, the shadow-world of the dead.
