Caution Regarding Associates
13 Whoever touches pitch gets dirty,
and whoever associates with the proud will become like them.(A)
2 Do not lift a weight too heavy for you
or associate with one mightier and richer than you.
How can the clay pot associate with the iron kettle?
The pot will strike against it and be smashed.
