Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
