Proverbs 9:6
New King James Version
6 Forsake foolishness and live,
And go in the way of understanding.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
New King James Version
14 (A)Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For (B)what [a]fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what [b]communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For (C)you[c] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
(D)“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore
(E)“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I (F)will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My (G)sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”

Psalm 119:63
New King James Version
63 I am a companion of all who fear You,
And of those who keep Your precepts.
Proverbs 1:11-19
New King James Version
11 If they say, “Come with us,
Let us (A)lie in wait to shed blood;
Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
12 Let us swallow them alive like [a]Sheol,
And whole, (B)like those who go down to the Pit;
13 We shall find all kinds of precious [b]possessions,
We shall fill our houses with [c]spoil;
14 Cast in your lot among us,
Let us all have one purse”—
15 My son, (C)do not walk in the way with them,
(D)Keep your foot from their path;
16 (E)For their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely, in [d]vain the net is spread
In the sight of any [e]bird;
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood,
They lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 (F)So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;
It takes away the life of its owners.

Proverbs 2:12-20
New King James Version
12 To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things,
13 From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To (A)walk in the ways of darkness;
14 (B)Who rejoice in doing evil,
And delight in the perversity of the wicked;
15 (C)Whose ways are crooked,
And who are devious in their paths;
16 To deliver you from (D)the immoral woman,
(E)From the seductress who flatters with her words,
17 Who forsakes the companion of her youth,
And forgets the covenant of her God.
18 For (F)her house [a]leads down to death,
And her paths to the dead;
19 None who go to her return,
Nor do they [b]regain the paths of life—
20 So you may walk in the way of goodness,
And keep to the paths of righteousness.
