The Bible puts the matter clearly when it says: “He that is walking with wise persons will become wise, but he that is having dealings with the stupid ones will fare badly. ” ​ — Proverbs 13: 20.
يوضح الكتاب المقدس هذا الامر قائلا :‏ « المساير الحكماء يصير حكيما ورفيق الجهال يُضَر » .‏ —‏ امثال ١٣ :‏ ٢٠‏ .‏
