Commentary on Proverbs 1:11

Theological / Devotional

Lay wait for blood. This bald appeal to cruelty and greed may seem to have few parallels in these civilized times. But the passions of unregenerate man have not changed. Cold-blooded murders, carried out for such trifling reasons as a desire for publicity or the satisfaction of curiosity, mark our age. Callous robberies, bringing great suffering to the innocent and needy, are a daily occurrence. These verses are a much-needed warning to young men today.
