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'll find all kinds of valuable possessions. We'll fill our homes with stolen goods.
14 Join us. We'll split the loot equally."
15 My son, do not follow them in their way. Do not even set foot on their path,
16 because they rush to do evil and hurry to shed blood.
17 It does no good to spread a net within the sight of any bird.
