Contextual Overview

10 My sonne, if sinners entice thee, consent not vnto them. 11 If they say, come with vs, let vs lay wayte for blood, and lurke priuily for the innocent without a cause: 12 Let vs swallowe them vp lyke the graue quicke and whole, as those that go downe into the pit: 13 So shall we finde all maner of costly riches, and fill our houses with spoyles: 14 Cast in thy lot among vs, and let vs all haue one purse. 15 My sonne, walke not thou with them, refrayne thy foote from their wayes. 16 For their feete runne to euyll, and are hasty to shed blood. 17 But [as] in vayne, the nette is layde foorth before the birdes eyes: 18 So these lay wayte for the blood of them, and lye priuily for their liues. 19 Such [are] the wayes of euery one that is greedie of gayne, who taketh away the life of the owner therof.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let us swallow them up alive as the grave,.... The innocent person, and those that are with him, his servants; our gang is so numerous that we can very easily dispatch him and all his attendants, and bury them out of sight at once, as if they were swallowed up alive in a grave, and so no more to be seen or heard of; and consequently we shall be in the utmost safety and security, there being no traces of what is done, nor any left to make a relation of it, or to give any information of us, or to pursue us;

and whole, as those that go down into the pit; who though whole and in perfect health, shall in a moment be destroyed and cast into the pit, being first plundered of all the riches they have about them; for this swallowing them up alive and whole, which is an allusion to a beast of prey swallowing up another creature all at once, not only intends their cruelty in taking away life, but their rapaciousness in seizing upon their substance.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 1:12. Let us swallow them up alive — Give them as hasty a death as if the earth were suddenly to swallow them up. This seems to refer to the destruction of a whole village. Let us destroy man, woman, and child; and then we may seize on and carry away the whole of their property, and the booty will be great.
