“If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:”
Proverbs 1:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 1:11
Wisdom personified quotes the enticement of sinners: 'Come with us, let us lay wait for blood.' This reveals sin's communal nature—evil loves company and recruits accomplices. The graphic 'lay wait for blood' exposes violence underlying greed. Sin presents itself attractively ('come with us') while concealing its murderous reality. The Reformed understanding recognizes total depravity makes humans naturally susceptible to such invitations apart from grace. Resist the first step; sin's path leads to bloodshed.
