The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Proverbs 1:15 states, "my son, do not walk the road with them or set foot upon their path," which emphasizes a warning against associating with certain individuals. The Septuagint, while it has some matching words, presents a different structure and does not provide a direct translation of this verse, indicating a divergence in wording and possibly interpretation. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide additional evidence for this specific verse, so their agreement or disagreement with the Masoretic Text remains unexamined in this instance.

He may walk as a carnal or as a spiritual man, Ro 8:1; with God, or in ignorance and sin, Ge 5:24 1Jo 5:21; in the fire of affliction, Isa 43:2, or in the light, purity, and joy of Christ’s favor here and in heaven, Ps 89:15 Re 3:4.
