⁴ I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

¹⁷ I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

1 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.

²⁰ He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

¹¹⁵ Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

¹⁷ Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

⁶³ I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

³³ Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

¹¹ He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

⁶ Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
