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

So [are] the ways of everyone that is greedy of gain,.... That is set upon getting riches in an unlawful way, by robberies and murder; his ways will end in the loss of his own blood and life, and in the loss of his immortal soul; this will be what his wicked ways and course of life will bring him to, and what will his gain profit him then? it would be of no use and service to him could he have gained the whole world;

[which] taketh away the life of the owners thereof: or who, even every one of those that are greedy of gain, and will be rich at any rate; such stick not to take away the life of the proper owners of that gain, or money they are greedy of, in order to get it into their own possession; and such wicked practices cannot fail of meeting with a just recompence of reward: or "which" covetous gain, or gain gotten in such a wicked manner, will be the cause of the life of the injurious masters and wrong possessors of it being taken away from them, either by the hand of the civil magistrate, or by God himself. These sins of robbery and murder are particularly instanced in, not only because other sins lead unto them, as sabbath breaking, drunkenness, and lewdness, and issue in temporal and eternal ruin; but because they were very common among the Jews at the time that Wisdom, or Christ, was here on earth: to which time the whole passage refers, as appears from the following verses; and that those sins were frequent then is manifest both from Scripture; see Matthew 27:38; and from the confessions of the Jews, who say z that forty years before the destruction of the temple the sanhedrim were obliged to remove from place to place, because that murderers increased, and they could not judge and condemn them, for fear of being murdered themselves; and it was because of this great increase they were obliged to stop the beheading of the red heifer a.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Not robbery only, but all forms of covetousness are destructive of true life.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 1:19. Which taketh away the life — A covetous man is in effect, and in the sight of God, a murderer; he wishes to get all the gain that can accrue to any or all who are in the same business that he follows-no matter to him how many families starve in consequence. This is the very case with him who sets up shop after shop in different parts of the same town or neighbourhood, in which he carries on the same business, and endeavours to undersell others in the same trade, that he may get all into his own hand.
