³⁴They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

³⁵But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

¹¹⁵Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

⁵Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

⁶My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

⁷I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

¹⁹Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

²¹Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

²²I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

⁴Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

¹⁰My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

¹⁴Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

¹⁵My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

¹¹Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

¹²To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

¹⁶To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

¹⁹None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

¹⁴Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

¹⁵Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

⁸Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

⁶Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

¹¹He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

²⁶The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

²⁰He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

⁷Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

²⁹A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

¹²Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

¹⁹He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

⁵Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

¹⁰Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

²⁴Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

²⁵Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
