Contextual Overview

¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing. ¹¹ If they say, `Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause, ¹² We swallow them as Sheol -- alive, And whole -- as those going down [to] the pit, ¹³ Every precious substance we find, We fill our houses [with] spoil, ¹⁴ Thy lot thou dost cast among us, One purse is -- to all of us.' ¹⁵ My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path, ¹⁶ For their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed blood. ¹⁷ Surely in vain is the net spread out before the eyes of any bird. ¹⁸ And they for their own blood lay wait, They watch secretly for their own lives. ¹⁹ So [are] the paths of every gainer of dishonest gain, The life of its owners it taketh.

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.
