The more you study the Bible, the more you see it is a contemporary book. Gangs and prisons are full of those who did not heed this advice in Proverbs 1. Even a bird avoids a trap being set for it. Humans who pursue a life of crime lay a booby trap for their own lives.
Proverbs 1:10-18 (TLB) 10 If young toughs tell you, “Come and join us”—turn your back on them! 11 “We’ll hide and rob and kill,” they say. 12 “Good or bad, we’ll treat them all alike. 13 And the loot we’ll get! All kinds of stuff! 14 Come on, throw in your lot with us; we’ll split with you in equal shares.”15 Don’t do it, son! Stay far from men like that, 16 for crime is their way of life, and murder is their specialty. 17 When a bird sees a trap being set, it stays away, 18 but not these men; they trap themselves! They lay a booby trap for their own lives.
