Contextual Overview
10 My sonne, if sinners entise thee, consent thou not. 11 If they say, Come with vs, let vs lay wait for blood, let vs lurke priuily for the innocent without cause: 12 Let vs swallow them vp aliue, as the graue, and whole, as those that goe downe into the pit: 13 Wee shall finde all precious substance, wee shall fill our houses with spoile: 14 Cast in thy lot among vs, let vs all haue one purse: 15 My sonne, walke not thou in the way with them; refraine thy foot from their path: 16 For their feete runne to euil, and make haste to shed blood. 17 Surely in vaine the net is spread in the sight of any bird. 18 And they lay wait for their owne blood, they lurke priuily for their owne liues. 19 So are the waies of euery one that is greedie of gaine: which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

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
