Proverbs 13:20-22 NWT
20 He that is walking with wise persons will become wise, but he that is having dealings with the stupid ones will fare badly. 21 Sinners are the ones whom calamity pursues, but the righteous are the ones whom good rewards. 22 One who is good will leave an inheritance to sons of sons, and the wealth of the sinner is something treasured up for the righteous one.

Proverbs 13:20-22 BBE
(20) Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken. (21) Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
