⁶ Forsake ye, the simple, and live, And be happy in the way of understanding.

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

³⁵ For whoso is finding me, hath found life, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah.

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

¹⁵ Avoid it, pass not over into it, Turn aside from it, and pass on.

¹¹ In a way of wisdom I have directed thee, I have caused thee to tread in paths of uprightness.

⁴ And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, `Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues,

¹⁷ wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I -- I will receive you,

⁴⁰ Also with many more other words he was testifying and exhorting, saying, `Be saved from this perverse generation;'

²⁴ `Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and shall not be able;

¹³ `Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide `is' the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;

¹⁴ how strait `is' the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!

¹⁷ A traveller to life `is' he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring.

¹¹ For by me do thy days multiply, And added to thee are years of life.

¹¹⁵ Turn aside from me, ye evil-doers, And I keep the commands of my God.

¹⁰ Hearken, O daughter, and see, incline thine ear, And forget thy people, and thy father's house,

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

⁵ I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

⁶ I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.
