Do not enterthe pathof the wickedAnd do not proceedin the wayof evilmen.
How blessedis the manwhodoes not walkin the counselof the wicked,Norstandin the pathof sinners,Norsitin the seatof scoffers!
My son,ifsinnersenticeyou, Do not consent.
My son,do not walkin the waywith them. Keepyour feetfrom their path,
He who walkswith wisemenwill be wise,But the companionof foolswill sufferharm.
Oryou will learnhis waysAnd finda snarefor yourself.
Do not be enviousof evilmen,Nordesireto be with them;
Avoidit, do not passby it; Turnawayfrom it and passon.
Keepyour wayfarfrom her And do not gonearthe doorof her house,
Passingthrough the streetnearher corner;And he takesthe wayto her house,
"Forsake[your] follyand live,And proceedin the wayof understanding."
Do not be deceived:"Badcompanycorruptsgoodmorals."
