SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:14
echa tu suerte entre nosotros; tengamos todos una bolsa,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:14
Verse 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.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. Cast in thy lot among us , etc.] Or “thou shall cause thy lot to fall among us” f20 ; 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” f21 ; 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-19 - Wicked people are zealous in seducing others into the paths of the destroyer: sinners love company in sin. But they have so much the mor to answer for. How cautious young people should be! "Consent thou not. Do not say as they say, nor do as they do, or would have thee to do have no fellowship with them. Who could think that it should be pleasure to one man to destroy another! See their idea of worldl wealth; but it is neither substance, nor precious. It is the ruinou mistake of thousands, that they overvalue the wealth of this world. Me promise themselves in vain that sin will turn to their advantage. The way of sin is down-hill; men cannot stop themselves. Would young people shun temporal and eternal ruin, let them refuse to take one step i these destructive paths. Men's greediness of gain hurries them upo practices which will not suffer them or others to live out half their days. What is a man profited, though he gain the world, if he lose his life? much less if he lose his soul?
