Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

Verse 14 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.

wage es mit uns! es soll unser aller ein Beutel sein":
Echa tu suerte entre nosotros; Tengamos todos una bolsa:
Tu auras ta part avec nous, Il n'y aura qu'une bourse pour nous tous!
Tu trarrai la tua sorte con noi; Fra noi non vi sarà che una sola borsa;
Lança a tua sorte conosco; teremos todos uma só bolsa!
你來與我們同夥, 共用一個錢囊。」
