We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil;
– Proverbs 1:13

The previous verse offered power and freedom and this verse promises success. The young man is being enticed to join a lot that will lead him to substantial wealth and all that means. Underlying this is also a promise of equal distribution. Those with experience can easily see the emptiness of the promise but these are powerful temptations to youth.
