But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish ones speak. Shall we indeed receive good from God, and shall we not accept adversity? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Should your empty talk make men hold their peace? And when you mock, should no one make you ashamed?

For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.

Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor has stood in the way of sinners, nor has sat in the seat of the scornful.

I have not sat with men of vanity, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

When you saw a thief, then you were pleased to be with him, and have been a partaker with adulterers.

Behold, these are the wicked, who are continually at ease; they increase in riches.

For all day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning.

My son, do not walk in the way with them! Withhold your foot from their path;

to deliver you from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perverse things,

Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not go in the way of evil.

He who walks with the wise will be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Do not be led astray: Evil company corrupts good character.
