Contextual Overview
10My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent. 11If they say, "Come with us; Let us lie in wait to shed blood, Let us ambush the innocent without cause; 12Let us swallow them alive like Sheol (the place of the dead), Even whole, as those who go down to the pit [of death]; 13We will find and take all kinds of precious possessions, We will fill our houses with spoil; 14Throw in your lot with us [they insist]; We will all have one money bag [in common]," 15My son, do not walk on the road with them; Keep your foot [far] away from their path, 16For their feet run to evil, And they hurry to shed blood.17Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net In the sight of any bird; 18But [when these people set a trap for others] they lie in wait for their own blood; They set an ambush for their own lives [and rush to their destruction]. 19So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; Greed takes away the lives of its possessors.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For their feet run to evil,.... To the evil of sin, to commit robberies and murder, and all manner of iniquity; they are eager upon it, and in haste and swift to do it, Proverbs 6:18 x; being carried away with their inordinate affections, which are as feet to the soul; and drawn aside with their lusts, and pushed on by Satan, and, encouraged by one another, and so rush on headlong to the evil of punishment also; and which is a reason why their ways and paths should be abstained from, because they bring upon them swift destruction; it is to their own hurt they run, as Jarchi interprets it; though the first sense seems best to agree with what follows;
and make haste to shed blood; the blood of innocent persons, in order to get their substance, to cover their iniquity and shame, and that no information may be given of them; this is mentioned as having something very horrible in it, in order to deter from joining with them.
x "Velox ad facinus", Claudian. in Rufin. l. 1. v. 240.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 1:16. For their feet run to evil — The whole of this verse is wanting in the Septuagint, and in the Arabic.
