who travels in company with evildoers and walks with wicked men?
Should your babble silence men, 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 one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?"[1] In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Will you keep to the old way that wicked men have trod?
For he has said, 'It profits a man nothing that he should take delight in God.'
Blessed is the man[1] who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
I do not sit with men of falsehood, nor do I consort with hypocrites.

my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths,
Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,
Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of the evil.
Do not be deceived: "Bad company ruins good morals."[3]
