Exegesis
The final construct min-netivatam {מִנְּתִיבָתָם | min-nə-tî-vā-tām} ‘from their path’ uses netivah {נְתִיבָה | nə-ti-vāh} to denote a habitual route. The paired imperatives and chiastic structure amplify the warning against following wicked examples.
In context — Proverbs 1:15
My son, do not go in the way with them; restrain your foot from their path .
