The Pulpit Commentary on Proverbs 16:29

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

A violent man enticeth his neighbour. The man of violence (Proverbs 3:31) is one who wrongs others by injurious conduct, by fraud or oppression. How such a one "enticeth," talks a man over, we see in Proverbs 1:10, etc.

Septuagint, "The lawless man tempts ( ἀποπειρᾶται) friends." And leadeth him into the way that is not good (Psalms 36:4; Isaiah 65:2); a position where he will suffer some calamity, or be induced to commit some wickedness.
