⁴ And he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab, for they have been his counsellors, after the death of his father, for destruction to him.

²⁰ Whoso is walking with wise men is wise, And a companion of fools suffereth evil.

¹⁷ And after the death of Jehoiada come in have heads of Judah, and bow themselves to the king; then hath the king hearkened unto them,

¹⁸ and they forsake the house of Jehovah, God of their fathers, and serve the shrines and the idols, and there is wrath upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guilt.

¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing.

⁵ The thoughts of the righteous `are' justice, The counsels of the wicked -- deceit.

²⁷ Cease, my son, to hear instruction -- To err from sayings of knowledge.
