Contextual Overview

¹⁰ Don't be tempted by sinners or listen ¹¹ when they say, "Come on! Let's gang up and kill somebody, just for the fun of it! ¹² They're well and healthy now, but we'll finish them off once and for all. ¹³ We'll take their valuables and fill our homes with stolen goods. ¹⁴ If you join our gang, you'll get your share." ¹⁵ Don't follow anyone like that or do what they do. ¹⁶ They are in a big hurry to commit some crime, perhaps even murder. ¹⁷ They are like a bird that sees the bait, but ignores the trap. ¹⁸ They gang up to murder someone, but they are the victims. ¹⁹ The wealth you get from crime robs you of your life.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

My son, if sinners entice thee,.... Endeavour to seduce thee from thy parents, and draw thee aside from them, from listening to their instructions, advice, and commands; and make use of all plausible arguments to persuade thee to join with them in the sins they are addicted unto, and are continually employed in: for this is not to be understood of such who are sinners by nature, and through infirmity of the flesh, as all men are; but of notorious sinners, who are guilty of the grossest enormities, who live in sin, and give up themselves to work all manner of wickedness; sin is their trade and business, and the constant course of their lives; they are hardened, impudent, and daring, and not content to sin themselves, but do all they can to draw in others; and to preserve youth from filling into such bad company is this exhortation given in this tender, affectionate, and moving manner; next to the fear of God, and regard to parents, is this caution given to shun the company of wicked men, which young men are liable to be drawn into, and is of fatal consequence;

consent thou not; yield not to their persuasions, listen not to their solicitations, show no liking and approbation of them, assent neither by words nor deeds; do not say "thou wilt"; say "I will not", and abide by it; be deaf to all their entreaties, and proof against all their persuasions.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The first great danger which besets the simple and the young is that of evil companionship. The only safety is to be found in the power of saying “No,” to all such invitations.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 1:10. If sinners entice thee, consent thou not. — אל תבא al tobe, WILL-not. They can do thee no harm unless thy will join in with them. God's eternal purpose with respect to man is that his will shall be free; or, rather, that the will, which is essentially FREE, shall never be forced nor be forceable by any power. Not even the devil himself can lead a man into sin till he consents. Were it not so, how could God judge the world?
