Verse 15 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, wandle den Weg nicht mit ihnen; wehre deinem Fuß vor ihrem Pfad.
Hijo mío, no andes en camino con ellos; Aparta tu pie de sus veredas:
Mon fils, ne te mets pas en chemin avec eux, Détourne ton pied de leur sentier;
Figliuol mio, non inviarti con loro; Rattieni il tuo piè dal lor sentiero.
Filho meu, não te ponhas a caminho com eles; desvia o teu pé das suas veredas;
我兒啊,不要與他們走同一道路, 禁止你的腳走他們的路徑。
