It will keep you from the wicked, from those whose words are bad,
Let those who want to do wrong stay away from me; I will have nothing to do with evil.
Take away my desire to do evil or to join others in doing wrong. Don’t let me eat tasty food with those who do evil.
Good people know the right thing to say, but evil people only tell lies.
Spend time with the wise and you will become wise, but the friends of fools will suffer.
Your eyes will see strange sights, and your mind will be confused.
Those who trust in themselves are foolish, but those who live wisely will be kept safe.
The Lord hates those who do wrong, but he is a friend to those who are honest.
Some people are wicked and no good. They go around telling lies,
If you respect the Lord, you will also hate evil. I hate pride and bragging, evil ways and lies.
Stop your foolish ways, and you will live; take the road of understanding.
Also, some from your own group will rise up and twist the truth and will lead away followers after them.
Do not be fooled: “Bad friends will ruin good habits.”
“Leave those people, and be separate, says the Lord. Touch nothing that is unclean, and I will accept you.”
