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

We shall find all precious substance,.... Among one or another we meet with; gold and silver and precious stones, everything that is valuable; not considering that hereby they were in danger of losing the more precious substance, their immortal souls; and the most precious substance of all, the enjoyment of God, and happiness with him to all eternity, which is the "more enduring substance": the things of this world, properly speaking, are not substance, though wicked men so judge them; they are things that are not; nor are they "precious", in comparison of spiritual and heavenly things; but they are what carnal men set a high price and value upon, and risk the loss of their name, lives, and souls for;

we shall fill our houses with spoil; Aben Ezra interprets this of garments; but it may not only design the garments taken from the persons robbed and killed; but also their money, commodities, and goods they were travelling with, which in time would be so large as to fill everyone of their houses; covetousness lies at the bottom of all this wickedness; the love of money is the root of all evil.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The second form of temptation (see Proverbs 1:10 note) appeals to the main attraction of the robber-life, its wild communism, the sense of equal hazards and equal hopes.
