Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.

And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.

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

The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

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

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
