Proverbs 1:12

... let us swallow them up alive as the grave, and whole, as those who go down into the pit; ...
Proverbs 1:12, Modern English Version (MEV)
 
The problem with falling in with the schemes of sinners is that they most often have no sense of morality or decency. They don't care who they hurt or how they hurt them. To them it's fun, it's exciting, it's enjoyable, and that's exactly how they present themselves to entice others to join them. Young people are particularly vulnerable to this as they are looking for one emotional high after another. We must give our young people the tools to resist this sort of temptation before they become involved in something they'll regret for the rest of their lives.
 
John Gill, in his Exposition on the Bible, puts it this way:
 
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave,.... The innocent person, and those that are with him, his servants; our gang is so numerous that we can very easily dispatch him and all his attendants, and bury them out of sight at once, as if they were swallowed up alive in a grave, and so no more to be seen or heard of; and consequently we shall be in the utmost safety and security, there being no traces of what is done, nor any left to make a relation of it, or to give any information of us, or to pursue us;
 
and whole, as those that go down into the pit; who though whole and in perfect health, shall in a moment be destroyed and cast into the pit, being first plundered of all the riches they have about them; for this swallowing them up alive and whole, which is an allusion to a beast of prey swallowing up another creature all at once, not only intends their cruelty in taking away life, but their rapaciousness in seizing upon their substance.
