Contextual Overview
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, do not consent. 11 If they say - Come with us, - Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us watch in secret for him who is needlessly innocent; 12 Let us engulf them, like hades, alive, While in health, like them who are going down to the pit; 13 All costly substance, shall we find, We shall fill our houses with spoil; 14 Thy lot, shalt thou cast into our midst, One purse, shall there be, for us all. 15 My son, do not walk in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path. 16 For, their feet, to mischief, do run, and haste to the shedding of blood. 17 Surely, in vain, is spread the net, in the sight of aught that hath wings! 18 Yet, they, for their own blood, lie in wait, They watch in secret for their own life. 19 Such are the ways of every one that graspeth with greed, The life of the owners thereof, it taketh away!

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.
