³¹ Follow thou not an unjust man (Do not thou follow a law-breaker), follow thou not his ways.

³⁰ (The) Health of (the) heart is the life of (the) flesh; envy is (the) rot of (the) bones.

¹⁷ (Let) Thine heart follow not sinners; but be thou in the dread of the Lord all day (but be thou in the fear of the Lord/with reverence for the Lord all day long).

24 Follow thou not evil men (Do not thou follow evil people), desire thou not to be with them.

² For the soul of them bethinketh (on) ravens, and their lips speak frauds. (For their minds think about robberies, and their lips speak lies.)

¹⁹ Strive thou not with the worst men, neither follow thou wicked men. (Argue thou not with the wicked, nor follow thou the wicked.)

²⁰ For why evil men have not hope of things to come, and the lantern of wicked men shall be quenched. (For evil people have no hope in things to come, and the lantern of the wicked shall be quenched.)
