Proverbs 13:20
Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it.

2 Peter 2 10-2 Peter 2 18
but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, self- willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities:whereas angels, though greater in might and power, bring not a railing judgment against them before the Lord.But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed,suffering wrong as the hire of wrong- doing; men that count it pleasure to revel in the day- time, spots and blemishes, revelling in their deceivings while they feast with you;having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing;forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong- doing;but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man’s voice and stayed the madness of the prophet.These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved.For, uttering great swelling words of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error;

1 Corinthians 10 6-1 Corinthians 10 8
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Hosea 4:11-14
Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the understanding.My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declareth unto them; for the spirit of whoredom hath caused them to err, and they have played the harlot, departing from under their God.They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters play the harlot, and your brides commit adultery.I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go apart with harlots, and they sacrifice with the prostitutes; and the people that doth not understand shall be overthrown.

Numbers 25:1-6
And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab:for they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.And Israel joined himself unto Baal- peor: and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel.And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may turn away from Israel.And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto Baal- peor.And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.

Jude 1:7-13
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought dominion, and rail at dignities.But Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.But these rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed.Woe unto them! for they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.These are they who are hidden rocks in your love- feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved for ever.
