¹⁴ Enter not into the path of the wicked,
and go not in the way of evil men.
¹⁵ Avoid it, pass not by it,
turn from it, and pass away.
¹⁶ For they sleep not, except they have done mischief;
and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
¹⁷ For they eat the bread of wickedness,
and drink the wine of violence.
¹⁸ But the path of the just is as the shining light,
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness:
they know not at what they stumble.

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

⁷ Go from the presence of a foolish man,
    when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

¹⁹ Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly,
    than to divide the spoil with the proud.

¹⁹ He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets:
    therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
