But a companion of fools will suffer harm.

20He who walks [as a companion] with wise men will be wise,

But the companions of [conceited, dull-witted] fools [are fools themselves and] will experience harm. [Is 32:6]

20He who walks with the wise will become wise,

but the companion of fools will be destroyed.

20Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise;

But the companion of fools shall smart for it.

20He that walketh with the wise, shalbe wise: but a companion of fooles shalbe afflicted.

20One who walks with wise men grows wise,

but a companion of fools suffers harm.

20Walk with wise people and become wise.

A companion of foolish people suffers harm.

20If you have wise people as your friends,

you will become wise yourself.

But if you have foolish friends,

you will hurt yourself.

20Whoever is walking with wise men is wise, || And a companion of fools suffers evil.
