Sirach 8:15

15 Don't walk on the road with reckless people, or you will bear the weight of your mistakes. They will walk wherever they want, and you will be destroyed because of their foolishness.

Sirach 8:15 In-Context

13 Don't guarantee a loan beyond your ability, and if you do guarantee one, consider that you will need to pay.
14 Don't go to court with a judge; people will judge him according to his prestige.
15 Don't walk on the road with reckless people, or you will bear the weight of your mistakes. They will walk wherever they want, and you will be destroyed because of their foolishness.
16 Don't get in a fight with hot-tempered people, and don't travel through the desert with them, because spilling blood is nothing to them, and where there's no one to help, they will strike you down.
17 Don't consult with fools, because they can't keep a secret.
