He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
The people you walk with shape you: walk with the wise and you grow wise.
KJV17A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. 18Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. 19The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. 20He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. 21Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. 22A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. 23Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
Short sayings of practical wisdom for everyday life, many attributed to Solomon.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Paul’s word on yoking your life to someone who does not share your faith: when choosing a partner, look for one who walks the same way. It is not a call to leave a marriage you are already in (1 Corinthians 7:12-13).
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Guard your heart above everything else, because your whole life flows from it.
