Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 1:19

19. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain : which taketh away the lives of the owners thereof .

As is expressed both in the foregoing and following words.

The actions and courses, which are so in the tendency and event of them.

That seeks gain by unrighteous and wicked practices.

Either which greediness: or rather, which gain, by comparing the last words.

Brings sudden and violent death upon those who had made themselves Masters and Possessors of such gain.
