⌞Wisdom will⌟ save you from the way of evil, from the person who speaks devious things,
I will keep far away from devious minds. I will have nothing to do with evil.
Do not let me be persuaded to do anything evil or to become involved with wickedness, with people who are troublemakers. Do not let me taste their delicacies.
The lips of a righteous person announce good will, but the mouths of wicked people are devious.
Whoever walks with wise people will be wise, but whoever associates with fools will suffer.
Your eyes will see strange sights, and your mouth will say embarrassing things.
Whoever trusts his own heart is a fool. Whoever walks in wisdom will survive.
The devious person is disgusting to the Lord. The Lord’s intimate advice is with decent people.
A good-for-nothing scoundrel is a person who has a dishonest mouth.
To fear the Lord is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, evil behavior, and twisted speech.
Stop being gullible and live. Start traveling the road to understanding.”
Some of your own men will come forward and say things that distort the truth. They will do this to lure disciples into following them.
Don’t let anyone deceive you. Associating with bad people will ruin decent people.
The Lord says, “Get away from unbelievers. Separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with anything unclean. Then I will welcome you.”
