Ben Sira 8:15

Listen to Ben Sira 8:15
15 You should not travel with anyone who is reckless. It will cause you nothing but trouble. He will do any foolish thing he pleases, and you will die with him.

Ben Sira 8:15 In-Context

13 You should not guarantee anyone else's loan to an extent that you cannot afford. You must be prepared to pay any such guarantee.
14 You should not bring a lawsuit against a judge. He will win because of his position.
15 You should not travel with anyone who is reckless. It will cause you nothing but trouble. He will do any foolish thing he pleases, and you will die with him.
16 You should not get into an argument with anyone who has a hot temper or go to some place where the two of you will be alone. Violence means nothing to such a person, and he will attack you when there is no one to help you.
17 You should not ask a stupid person for advice. He will not be able to keep secret what you tell him.
