Take no part in their secrets, O my soul; keep far away, O my heart, from their meetings; for in their wrath they put men to death, and for their pleasure even oxen were wounded.

He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, for his mother was his teacher in evil-doing.

What profit is it to you to be cruel, to give up the work of your hands, looking kindly on the design of evil-doers?

Truly, is not their well-being in their power? (The purpose of the evil-doers is far from me.)

(He had not given his approval to their decision or their acts), of Arimathaea, a town of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God:

Standeth

I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.

Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.

For this reason take up all the arms of God, so that you may be able to be strong in the evil day, and, having done all, to keep your place.

Way

Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.

He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.

The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.

Giving you salvation from the evil man, from those whose words are false;

The way of sinners is dark; they see not the cause of their fall.

Wise behaviour gets approval, but the way of the false is their destruction.

Go in by the narrow door; for wide is the door and open is the way which goes to destruction, and great numbers go in by it.

Sitteth

I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.

Go far from me, you evil-doers; so that I may keep the teachings of my God.

I did not take my seat among the band of those who are glad, and I had no joy; I kept by myself because of your hand; for you have made me full of wrath.

Scornful

How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?

He makes sport of the men of pride, but he gives grace to the gentle-hearted.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if your heart is full of pride, you only will have the pain of it.

Rods are being made ready for the man of pride, and blows for the back of the foolish.

General references

Any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again, may be used for food.

And goes in the company of evil-doers, walking in the way of sinners?

I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.

My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.

Do not go in the road of sinners, or be walking in the way of evil men.

But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.
