Commentary on Proverbs 1:13

Theological / Devotional

Fill our houses. Here is portrayed the motivating factor of the thief. Flattered by the offer of becoming one of a notorious group and of sharing in the profit from evil achievements, the greedy and the indolent are easily persuaded to join. The next section (vs. 15-19) shows how vain is the hope of permanent and satisfying gain from despoiling others.
