Gill's Notes on the Bible
If they say, come with us,.... Leave your father's house, and the business of life in which you are; make one of us, and become a member of our society, and go along with us upon the highway;
let us lay wait for blood; lie in ambush under some hedge or another, waiting till a rich traveller comes up and passes that way, and then rise and shed his blood in order to get his money; and the same word signifies both "blood" and "money", and wait is laid for one for the sake of the other;
let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause; or "let us hide" q, the Vulgate Latin version adds "snares"; so Vatablus and others, as the fowler does for birds; or "let us hide ourselves" r; in some private place, waiting "for the innocent", the harmless traveller, who has done no injury to any man's person or property; thinks himself safe, and is not aware of any design upon him; going about his lawful business, and having done nothing to provoke such miscreants to attempt his life or take away his property: and which they do "without cause" as to him; "freely" s as to themselves; and "with impunity" t, as they promise themselves and one another; all which senses the word used will bear.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The temptation against which the teacher seeks to guard his disciple is that of joining a band of highway robbers. The âvain menâ who gathered around Jephthah Judges 11:3, the lawless or discontented who came to David in Adullam 1 Samuel 22:2, the bands of robbers who infested every part of the country in the period of the New Testament, and against whom every Roman governor had to wage incessant war, show how deeply rooted the evil was in Palestine. Compare the Psalms 10:7, note; Psalms 10:10 note.
Without cause - Better, in vain; most modern commentators join the words with âinnocent,â and interpret them after Job 1:9. The evil-doers deride their victims as being righteous âin vain.â They get nothing by it. It does them no good.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 1:11. If they say, Come with us — From all accounts, this is precisely the way in which the workers of iniquity form their partisans, and constitute their marauding societies to the present day.
Let us lay wait for blood — Let us rob and murder.
Let us lurk privily — Let us lie in ambush for our prey.
