Sirach 22:16 CPDV

¹⁴  You should not talk at length with the foolish, and you should not go with the senseless.

¹⁵  Keep yourself from him, so that you may not have problems, and so that you will not be polluted by his sin.

¹⁶  Turn away from him, and you will find rest, and you will not be discouraged by his foolishness.

¹⁷  What is heavier than lead? And what else can he be called but foolish?

¹⁸  Sand, and salt, and an iron weight are each easier to bear than an imprudent man, who is both foolish and impious.
