Proverbs 24:1-2
"Do not be envious of EVIL men, Nor desire to be with them;
2 For their minds devise violence, And their lips talk of trouble."
The word for evil is Poneros means "bad, causing pain, causing trouble."
The evil man is a man of continual trouble, we are not to enable them or support them by making them our companions.
It is clear that if one hangs out with the bad crowd, they are the bad crowd, even if they don't participate in the evil the crowed does. We engage with people that we like to be with, the excuse that a young man just got in with a bad crowd, doesn't fly with God.
Matthew 12:34 ""You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart."
Luke 6:45 ""The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart."
