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. {ungodly: or, wicked}

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

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

He that walketh with wise {men} shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. {destroyed: Heb. broken}

Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

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

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. {ungodly: or, wicked}

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove {them}.

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to {do} evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest {judgment}: {speak: Heb. answer}

That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear {by them}, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:

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

Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

To deliver thee from the way of the evil {man}, from the man that speaketh froward things;

Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.

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