Contextual Overview

10 Don't be tempted by sinners or listen 11 when they say, "Come on! Let's gang up and kill somebody, just for the fun of it! 12 They're well and healthy now, but we'll finish them off once and for all. 13 We'll take their valuables and fill our homes with stolen goods. 14 If you join our gang, you'll get your share." 15 Don't follow anyone like that or do what they do. 16 They are in a big hurry to commit some crime, perhaps even murder. 17 They are like a bird that sees the bait, but ignores the trap. 18 They gang up to murder someone, but they are the victims. 19 The wealth you get from crime robs you of your life.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Cast in thy lot among us,.... Or "thou shall cause thy lot to fall among us" u; though just entered, as soon as any booty is taken thou shalt cast lots with us, and have thy full share with those that have been longer engaged;

let us all have one purse; or "we will all have one purse" w; will throw all our booty, taken by us into one common stock, and live upon it comfortably and merrily. Jarchi represents it as putting it to the young man's option, to do which he would, either to cast lots and take his share separately, or let it be put altogether, and so partake jointly with the rest. According to Gersom the sense is, that there should be such an exact division made, that there should not be more in one purse than in another; their shares should be equally divided by lot, and their purses should be alike; one should not have more than another: these are the arguments used by wicked men to allure and ensnare young men to join with them in their sinful ways and practices; from which they are dehorted, as follows.

u גורלך תפיל "sortem tuam conjicies", Junius Tremellius "projicies", Mercerus, Baynus; "jacies", Cocceius, Michaelis, Schultens. w יהיה לכלנו "erit nobis omnibus", Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version; so Cocceius, Schultens, and the Targum.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The second form of temptation (see Proverbs 1:10 note) appeals to the main attraction of the robber-life, its wild communism, the sense of equal hazards and equal hopes.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 1:14. Cast in thy lot — Be a frater conjuratus, a sworn brother, and thou shalt have an equal share of all the spoil.

Common sense must teach us that the words here used are such as must be spoken when a gang of cutthroats, pickpockets, &c., are associated together.
