“Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:”
Proverbs 1:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 1:12
The enticement continues with vivid imagery: 'swallow them up alive as the grave.' This compares victims to those going down alive into Sheol, emphasizing sudden, complete destruction. The phrase 'whole, as those that go down into the pit' pictures violent death's totality. This exposes greed's insatiable appetite—it consumes victims entirely. The imagery prefigures Hell's eternal destruction, showing temporal sin reflects eternal realities. Unrepentant greed leads to the ultimate pit.
