However, if one is around the wrong men and women, he/she can be put to harm’s way if they end up following the words of the ungodly people.

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night,” says Psalm 1:1-3 (MEV).

The Bible also explains that we often get influenced by those who are with us and the saying, “tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are,” throws light on such advice.
