Psalm 26:5

I hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.

I hate those who regard vain idols,
But I trust in the Lord.

Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not fasten its grip on me.

When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?”

I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

I hate those who regard vain idols,
But I trust in the Lord.

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not fasten its grip on me.

Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the

path of sinners,

Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?”

I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;

Do not enter the path of the wicked

And do not proceed in the way of evil men.
