Sirach 27:12

12 Limit the time you spend with unintelligent people, but linger with the thoughtful.

Sirach 27:12 In-Context

10 A lion lies in wait for prey just as sin lies in wait for those who practice injustice.

11 The godly always speak wisdom, but the fool changes like the moon.

12 Limit the time you spend with unintelligent people, but linger with the thoughtful.

13 The conversation of fools is offensive, as is their laughter over sinful pleasures.

14 Their speech, full of profanity, makes a person's hair stand on end, and their conflicts make people stop up their ears.
