18 These men lie in wait for their own blood;
they ambush only themselves!
Proverbs Club Commentary
Do not envy criminals or join their gangs.
Those paths lead only to ruin.

17 How useless to spread a net
where every bird can see it!
Proverbs Club Commentary
Gangs are a curse, not a blessing.
They must be held liable for their palpable lawlessness.

15 my son, do not go along with them,
do not set foot on their paths;
16 for their feet rush into evil,
they are swift to shed blood.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Gangs offer a family structure but deliver only evil.
Their paths lead to crime and corruption and death.

11 If they say, “Come along with us;
let’s lie in wait for innocent blood,
let’s ambush some harmless soul;
12 let’s swallow them alive, like the grave,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13 we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder;
14 cast lots with us;
we will all share the loot”—
Proverbs Club Commentary
Gangs are getting more popular as I age.
Yousta was, joining a gang was criminal.
Now, it is accepted in many neighborhoods.
Gangs bring only lawlessness and heartbreak.

10 My son, if sinful men entice you,
do not give in to them.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Do not be seduced by the sinful,
the wicked, the fool, the harlot.
Resist them all.
