Proverbs 12:26
The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
KJV
Qui negligit damnum propter amicum, justus est ; iter autem impiorum decipiet eos.
Vulgate
ἐπιγνώμων δίκαιος ἑαυτοῦ φίλος ἔσται, ἁμαρτάνοντας δὲ καταδιώξεται κακά, ἡ δὲ ὁδὸς τῶν ἀσεβῶν πλανήσει αὐτούς.
LXX
The righteous is a guide to his neighbor; But the way of the wicked causeth them to err.
