Exegesis
The conditional particle im {אִם | ʾim} introduces a protasis framed as a hypothetical warning, and the clause yepatukha {יְפַתּוּךָ | yə-pat-tû-ḵā} in Piel imperfect conveys ongoing persuasion by the plural subject chattaʾîm {חַטָּאִים | ḥaṭ-ṭā-ʾîm}.
In context — Proverbs 1:10
My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent to them.
