Proverbs 1:10-14 (Amplified Bible)

My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.

If they say, Come with us; let us lie in wait [to shed] blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause [and show that his piety is in vain];

Let us swallow them up alive as does Sheol (the place of the dead), and whole, as those who go down into the pit [of the dead];

We shall find and take all kinds of precious goods [when our victims are put out of the way], we shall fill our houses with plunder;

Throw in your lot with us [they insist] and be a sworn brother and comrade; let us all have one purse in common—

Proverbs 2:12-15 (Amplified Bible)

To deliver you from the way of evil and the evil men, from men who speak perverse things and are liars,

Men who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,

Who rejoice to do evil and delight in the perverseness of evil,

Who are crooked in their ways, wayward and devious in their paths.

Proverbs 3:31 (Amplified Bible)

Do not resentfully envy and be jealous of an unscrupulous, grasping man, and choose none of his ways.

Sinners entices and deceives other people, that's why the bible calls them bad weeds. But unfortunately bad people on this earth will not yet be removed until judgement.

Matthew 13:24-30 (Amplified Bible)

Another parable He set forth before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

But while he was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed also darnel (weeds resembling wheat) among the wheat, and went on his way.

So when the plants sprouted and formed grain, the darnel (weeds) appeared also.

And the servants of the owner came to him and said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how does it have darnel shoots in it?

He replied to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Then do you want us to go and weed them out?

But he said, No, lest in gathering the wild wheat (weeds resembling wheat), you root up the [true] wheat along with it.

Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary.

They wanted to deceive other people to come with them to their own destruction. They won't listen or see not until the HOLY SPIRIT leads them with humility to return to GOD.

Proverbs 14:12 (Amplified Bible)

There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death.
