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

Avoid it, do not pass by it; turn from it and pass on.

Forsake simplicity, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

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

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.

I have hated the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

Therefore, Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.

Do not turn to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil.

Remove your ways far from her, and do not come near the door of her house,

I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Your Word.

Thus says Jehovah to this people: Thus they have loved to wander; they have not restrained their feet; therefore Jehovah does not accept them. He will now remember their iniquity and punish their sins.
