Hebrew: What's correct Hebrew for "Harcheich Mishachei, Ra" (Pirke Avot) Baal Shem Tov
#1
At 30:00-30:33, I hear it as "Harcheik Mishachei, Ra".  Can someone help me with the correct Hebrew translation/English transliteration?  

Who Was The Ba'al Shem Tov? Founder of Hasidism Jewish History Lecture Dr. Henry Abramson

details: 

I was leisurely studying Jewish history through youtube and I encountered this video about the Baal Shem Tov.  In this video (at time 30:00-30:33), a teaching of the Baal Shem Tov spoke to my heart.  I'd been avoiding people because of the ideology of staying away from negative people. It's somewhat a common thinking nowadays and it was surprising it was in a mishnah of Pirke Avot "separate yourself from a bad neighbor". But the Baal Shem Tov, contradicts this saying the comma was misplaced and the correct meaning is: "If you distance yourself from a neighbor, that's a bad thing."

I'm not a Hebrew speaker but I am familiar with the alphabet and some words, and can read and write Hebrew.  However, I am not able to figure out the Hebrew of what the Baal Shem Tov said.  I like to know the original Hebrew reference in the Pirke Avot and study more about it.  In the video, I hear it as "Harkeych Mishachei, Ra".  Can someone help me with the correct Hebrew translation/transliteration?   Heart
