Avoid it, do not pass by it;
Turn away from it and pass on.

Calling to those who pass by,
Who are making their paths straight:

He who winks his eyes does so to devise perverse things;
He who compresses his lips brings evil to pass.

Or he who hears it will reproach you,
And the evil report about you will not pass away.

Like an archer who wounds everyone,
So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by.
