A Companion of Fools

Proverbs 13:20
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

The rule by which the wise regulate their conduct, is a fountain yielding life and happiness.  The way of sinners is hard upon others, and hard to the sinner himself.  The service of sin is slavery, the road to hell is strewed with the thorns and thistles that followed the curse.  It is folly to talk of things of which we know nothing, and to undertake what we are no way fit for.  Those that are wicked, and false to Yeshua Hamashiach and to the souls of men, do mischief, and fall into mischief.  But those that are faithful, find sound words healing to others and to themselves. 

He that scorns to be taught, will certainly be brought down.  There are in man strong desires after happiness, but never let those expect any thing truly sweet to their souls, who will not be persuaded to leave their sins.  Multitudes are brought to ruin by bad company.  And all that make themselves wicked will be destroyed. 

When Yahuwah pursues sinners he is sure to overtake them and he will reward the righteous.  The servant of Yahuwah who is not anxious about riches, takes the best method of providing for his children.  The poor, yet industrious, thrive, though in a homely manner, while those who have great riches are often brought to poverty for want of judgment.

He acts as if he hated his child, who, by false indulgence, permits sinful habits to gather strength, which will bring sorrow here and misery hereafter.  It is the misery of the wicked, that even their sensual appetites are always craving.  The righteous feeds on the word and ordinances, to the satisfying of his soul with the promises of the gospel, and the Yeshua Hamashiach, who is the Bread of life.
