I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand: for you have filled me with indignation.
Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.
He that walks with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
Depart from me, you evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
Therefore come out from among them, and be you separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
I am a companion of all them that fear you, and of them that keep your precepts.
Be not deceived: evil companions corrupt good morals.
He that tills his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that follows vain persons is void of understanding.
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot has hastened to deceit;
A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
