Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

I am a companion of all them that fear You, and of them that keep Your commandments.

Depart from me, You evildoers; for I will search out the commandments of my God.

Forsake folly, that you may reign forever; and seek wisdom, and improve understanding by knowledge.

He that tills his own land shall be satisfied with bread; but they that pursue vanities are void of understanding. [ 12:11A] He that enjoys himself in banquets of wine, shall leave dishonor in his own strongholds.

If you walk with wise men you shall be wise, but he that walks with fools shall be known.

I have not sat in the assembly of them as they mocked, but I feared because of Your power. I sat alone, for I was filled with bitterness.

Do not be deceived: "Evil associations corrupts good habits."

Therefore "Come out from the midst of them and be separated," says the Lord. "Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you."
