Avoid it, do not pass by it; Turn away from it and pass on.
And have no fellowship with the fruitless works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Keep back from every form of wickedness.
If you return to the Almighty, you are built up. If you remove unrighteousness far from your tents,
if wickedness were in your hand, put it far away and do not let perverseness dwell in your tents;
“Keep yourself far from a false matter, and do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I do not declare the wrong right.
He who walks righteously and speaks what is straight, he who rejects the gain of oppressions, who keeps his hands from accepting bribes, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil –
Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand, And like a bird from the hand of the trapper.
Keep your way far from her, And do not come near the door of her house,
Do not enter the path of the wrong, And do not walk in the way of evil-doers.
For they do not sleep unless they have done evil. And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall.
My son, do not walk in the way with them, Keep your foot from their path;
Do not envy evil men, Nor desire to be with them;
