Do not go in the road of sinners, or be walking in the way of evil men.
Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.
My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.
My son, do not go with them; keep your feet from their ways:
Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.
For fear of learning his ways and making a net ready for your soul.
Have no envy for evil men, or any desire to be with them:
Keep far from it, do not go near; be turned from it, and go on your way.
Go far away from her, do not come near the door of her house;
Walking in the street near the turn of her road, going on the way to her house,
Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.
Do not be tricked by false words: evil company does damage to good behaviour.
