who goes in company with evildoers and walks with the wicked?
Should your babble put others to silence, and when you mock, shall no one shame you?
For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
But he said to her, “You speak as any foolish woman would speak. Shall we receive good from God and not receive evil?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Will you keep to the old way that the wicked have trod?
For he has said, ‘It profits one nothing to take delight in God.’
Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked or take the path that sinners tread or sit in the seat of scoffers,
I do not sit with the worthless, nor do I consort with hypocrites;
You make friends with a thief when you see one, and you keep company with adulterers.
my child, do not walk in their way; keep your foot from their paths,
Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools suffers harm.
It will save you from the way of evil, from those who speak perversely,
Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of evildoers.
Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”
