⁸ And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.

¹ O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;

³³ Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;

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

¹⁸ If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers `is' thy portion.

⁴ I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

¹² To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking froward things,

¹⁵ My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path,

¹² Lo, these `are' the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength.

¹³ Only -- a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash in innocency my hands,

¹⁴ And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof `is' every morning.

¹⁵ If I have said, `I recount thus,' Lo, a generation of Thy sons I have deceived.

¹⁴ Into the path of the wicked enter not, And be not happy in a way of evil doers.

¹⁵ The path of the age dost thou observe, That men of iniquity have trodden?

⁵ For thy mouth teacheth thine iniquity, And thou chooseth the tongue of the subtile.

³ Thy devices make men keep silent, Thou scornest, and none is causing blushing!

¹⁰ And he saith unto her, `As one of the foolish women speaketh, thou speakest; yea, the good we receive from God, and the evil we do not receive.' In all this Job hath not sinned with his lips.
