In Solomon, in the Proverbs: |Bring not the impious man into the habitation of the righteous.| Also in the same, in Ecclesiasticus: |Let righteous men be thy guests.| And again: |The faithful friend is a medicine of life and of immortality.| Also in the same place: |Be thou far from the man who has the power to slay, and thou shalt not suspect fear.| Also in the same place: |Blessed is he who findeth a true friend, and who speaketh righteousness to the listening ear.| Also in the same place: |Hedge thine ears with thorns, and hear not a wicked tongue.| Also in the seventeenth Psalm: |With the righteous Thou shalt be justified; and with the innocent man Thou shalt be innocent; and with the froward man Thou shalt be froward.| Also in the first Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians: |Evil communications corrupt good dispositions.|
