Exegesis
The prepositional participle im-šônîm {עִם־שׁ֝וֹנִ֗ים | ʿim-šônîm} designates those prone to change, and the negative imperative al-titʿārāḇ {אַל־תִּתְעָרָֽב | ʾal-tit-ʿārāḇ} in the Hitpael stem emphasizes reflexive avoidance. English renders the parallel imperatives and maintains the coordination of objects to reflect the Hebrew structure.
In context — Proverbs 24:21
My son, fear the LORD and the king. Do not join with the changers .
