Bad Influences
10 My son, if sinners entice you, don’t be persuaded. 11 If they say—“Come with us! Let’s set an ambush and kill someone. Let’s attack some innocent person just for fun! 12 Let’s swallow them alive, like Sheol, still healthy as they go down to the Pit. 13 We’ll find all kinds of valuable property and fill our houses with plunder. 14 Throw in your lot with us, and we’ll all share our money”— 15 my son, don’t travel that road with them or set foot on their path, 16 because their feet run toward trouble and they hurry to commit murder. 17 It is foolish to spread a net where any bird can see it, 18 but they set an ambush to kill themselves; they attack their own lives. 19 Such are the paths of all who make profit dishonestly; it takes the lives of those who receive it.
Proverbs 1:10-19 HCSB
Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals” (1 Corinthians 15:33 HCSB).
Thankfully murdering someone for money has never been a thought I've entertained, and I've never had anyone try to peer pressure me in to it either; sadly that's not the case for everyone. The reality is that there are evil people in this world. In these verses a father warns his son to stay away from people who are willing to kill for material gain. Because as Isaiah put it "At evening time, behold, terror! Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion of those who loot us, and the lot of those who plunder us." (Isaiah 17:14 ESV). Doing that which is evil for money is NEVER worth it.
