'Associate' in the Bible

so that you will not associate with these nations, these which remain among you, or mention the name of their gods, or make anyone swear by them, or serve them, or bow down to them.

For if you ever go back and cling to the rest of these nations, these which remain among you, and intermarry with them, so that you associate with them and they with you,

from the nations concerning which the Lord had said to the sons of Israel, “You shall not associate with them, nor shall they associate with you, for they will surely turn your heart away after their gods.” Solomon held fast to these in love.

“When you see a thief, you are pleased with him,And you associate with adulterers.

He who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets,Therefore do not associate with a gossip.

Do not associate with a man given to anger;Or go with a hot-tempered man,

My son, fear the Lord and the king;Do not associate with those who are given to change,

“Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd,And against the man, My Associate,”Declares the Lord of hosts.“Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered;And I will turn My hand against the little ones.
