Verse 10 is found in chapter 1 of Proverbs. The first concrete instruction warns against the seduction of sinners who offer gains obtained through violence and complicity. The father’s voice urges the listener not to participate in a community built around exploiting others. The image of sharing one purse and pursuing the same profit shows how greed can become a social bond, while the path of the violent ultimately destroys them.

Mein Kind, wenn dich die bösen Buben locken, so folge nicht.
Hijo mío, si los pecadores te quisieren engañar, No consientas.
Hijo mío, si los pecadores quieren seducirte, no consientas.
Mon fils, si des pécheurs veulent te séduire, Ne te laisse pas gagner.
Figliuol mio, se i peccatori ti vogliono sedurre, Non acconsentir loro.
Filho meu, se os pecadores procuram te atrair com agrados, não aceites.
我兒啊,罪人若引誘你, 你不可隨從。
