Learning » Whose ways you should not learn
Don't make friends with a hot-tempered man, and do not associate with someone who is easily angered, or you may learn his ways and find yourself caught in a trap.
"When you enter the land that the LORD your God is about to give you, don't learn the detestable practices of those nations there.

Whoever practices these things is detestable to the LORD, and the LORD your God will expel them before you because of these things.

But the LORD does not allow you to act this way."
