My child, do not go down their way, withhold yourself from their path;

How blessed is the one who does not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of scoffers!

I stay away from the evil path, so that I might keep your instructions.

I do not associate with deceitful men, or consort with those who are dishonest.

Do not enter the path of the wicked or walk in the way of those who are evil.

Do not turn to the right or to the left; turn yourself away from evil.

Keep yourself far from her, and do not go near the door of her house,

Abandon your foolish ways so that you may live, and proceed in the way of understanding."

The one who associates with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

Then the Lord spoke about these people. "They truly love to go astray. They cannot keep from running away from me. So I am not pleased with them. I will now call to mind the wrongs they have done and punish them for their sins."

Therefore "come out from their midst, and be separate," says the Lord, "and touch no unclean thing, and I will welcome you,
