Prov 16:29 · Douay-Rheims
“An unjust man allureth his friend: and leadeth him into a way that is not good.”
On this verse:
“29 A man of violence enticeth his neighbour, And leadeth him in a way which is not good. Cf. Gen 4:8. The subject is not moral enticement, but enticement to some place or situation which facilitates to the violent man the carrying out of his violent purpose (misdemeanour, robbery, extortion, murder). חמס (here with אישׁ at Pro 3:31) is the injustice of club-law, the conduct of him who puts his superior power in godless rudeness in the place of God, Hab 1:11, cf. Job 12:6. "A way not good" (cf. Psa 36:5) is the contradictory contrast of the good way: one altogether evil and destructive.”
