I have not sat with vain persons; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
I sat not in the assembly of them that make merry, nor rejoiced: I sat alone because of thy hand; for thou hast filled me with indignation.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful
Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise: But the companion of fools shall smart for it.
Depart from me, ye evil-doers; That I may keep the commandments of my God.
Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,
I am a companion of all them that fear thee, And of them that observe thy precepts.
Be not deceived: Evil company doth corrupt good manners.
He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: But he that followeth after vain persons is void of understanding.
Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding.
If I have walked with vanity, And my foot hath hasted to deceit;
A froward heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.
