¹⁴ Enter not into the path of the wicked, And walk not in the way of evil men.

¹ 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 scoffers:

¹⁵ My son, walk not thou in the way with them; Refrain thy foot from their path:

¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice thee, Consent thou not.

³³ Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.

⁴ I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

⁵ I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

¹¹ Discretion shall watch over thee; Understanding shall keep thee:

¹² To deliver thee from the way of evil, From the men that speak perverse things;

⁶ Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding.

²⁰ Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it.
