Some people imagine that they know a quicker way to improve their lives. Solomon warns about such people in verses 10-19. They offer friendship (verse 14). But their friendship cannot last because their plan is evil. They offer rich rewards (verse 13). But really they will suffer a terrible fate (verse 19). Wisdom is much better than any evil plan.

Verses 10-16

The thieves’ plan

In Solomon’s story, a band of thieves have a cruel plan.

The thieves ask a young man to join them. Together, they will attack someone else. They will steal from him, and murder him. The young man and the thieves soon will become wealthy.

The young man does not realise the true plot.

Verses 17-19

The truth is this. The thieves also intend to kill the young man. This means that the thieves will keep all the money.

Solomon’s story teaches us about evil behaviour. An evil life is not fun. It is dangerous. The evil person risks a terrible end.

The young man in the story thought that he would become wealthy. In reality, he lost everything.

Solomon warns us not to make the same mistake.
