'Avoid' in the Bible

“Now a traveler (visitor) came to the rich man,And to avoid taking one from his own flock or herdTo prepare [a meal] for the traveler who had come to him,He took the poor man’s ewe lamb and prepared it for his guest.”

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

Let your way [in life] be far from her,And do not go near the door of her house [avoid even being near the places of temptation],

The teaching of the wise is a fountain and source of life,So that one may avoid the snares of death.

The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that leads to obedience and worship] is a fountain of life,So that one may avoid the snares of death.

The [chosen] path of life leads upward for the wise,That he may keep away from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) below.

By mercy and lovingkindness and truth [not superficial ritual] wickedness is cleansed from the heart,And by the fear of the Lord one avoids evil.

He who walks righteously and speaks with integrity,Who rejects gain from fraud and from oppression,Who shakes his hand free from the taking of bribes,Who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshedAnd shuts his eyes to avoid looking upon evil;
