Don’t be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
A righteous man is cautious in friendship...
1. A person who has no regard for God or for His ways.
My child, if sinners entice you, turn your back on them! They may say, “Come and join us. Let’s hide and kill someone! Just for fun, lets ambush the innocent! Think of the great things we will get! We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff that we take. Come throw in your lot with us; we’ll all share the loot.” My child, don’t go along with them! Stay far away from their paths.
Stay away from a foolish man...
2. A hotheaded person.
Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared.
There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
- A prideful person.
- A liar... A lying tongue.
22The Lord detests lying lips,
but he delights in those who tell the truth.
6Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.
- Hands that shed innocent blood.
- A false witness.
- Surround yourself with friends who love God with all their heart, with all their mind, with all their soul, and with all their strength and who want to live for Him.
- Surround yourself with people who are patient and kind. People who lift you up and help you become the person God created you to become.
- Surround yourself with people who are humble.
- Surround yourself with people who care about you.
- Surround yourself with people who put the needs of others ahead of themselves, and make sure you are doing the same thing.
- Surround yourself with people who will speak the truth in love to you.
- Surround yourself with people that care about others and who brag on your strengths, and cover your weaknesses, and never talk behind your back.
