Proverbs 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 1:15

My son, walk not thou in the way with them
In the same way as they do, which is the broad way that leads unto destruction; set not one foot in it; make no trial of it, whether it will be pleasant and profitable walking in it; the experiment will be dangerous; refrain thy foot from their path;
their manner and course of life; do not follow it, nor join them in it; when there is an inclination or a temptation to it, withstand it; stop in time, do not proceed, but draw back, and go on in the way thou hast been trained up in, and remember the instructions of thy parents.

Proverbs 1:15 In-Context

13 We shall find all precious wealth, we shall fill our houses [with] booty,
14 you shall throw your lot in our midst, there will be one purse for all of us."
15 My child, do not walk in their way. Keep your foot from their paths,
16 for their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed blood,
17 for "in vain is the net scattered, in the sight of any {winged bird}."
