Proverbs 2:12

I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation.

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry Yahweh’s vessels.

Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.

A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.
