Thus you walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.
so that you may not be lazy, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. Whoever does good is from God, but whoever does evil has not seen God.
Thus says the Lord: Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths where the good way is and walk in it, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, “We will not walk in it.”
He who walks with wise men will be wise, but a companion of fools will suffer evil.
Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
I am a companion of all those who fear You, and of those who keep Your precepts.
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until the full daytime.
I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in upright paths.
I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of justice,
