Ben Sira 8:15

Listen to Ben Sira 8:15
15 Do not travel on the road with a foolhardy fellow, lest he be burdensome to you; for he will act as he pleases, and through his folly you will perish with him.

Ben Sira 8:15 In-Context

13 Do not give surety beyond your means, but if you give surety, be concerned as one who must pay.
14 Do not go to law against a judge, for the decision will favor him because of his standing.
15 Do not travel on the road with a foolhardy fellow, lest he be burdensome to you; for he will act as he pleases, and through his folly you will perish with him.
16 Do not fight with a wrathful man, and do not cross the wilderness with him; because blood is as nothing in his sight, and where no help is at hand, he will strike you down.
17 Do not consult with a fool, for he will not be able to keep a secret.
