Notes

Proverbs 1:10–19

The father warns his child not to join a group of wrongdoers planning to attack innocent people. Their evil actions will eventually harm them (see Proverbs 28:10; Psalms 9:15; 35:8). The evil path involves violence and theft.

Proverbs 1:8–19

In the book of Proverbs, there are two paths (Proverbs 1:15):

  • A wise and just path

  • A foolish and evil path

The parents represent the wise path and encourage their child to follow it.
