PROVERBS 27
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GOOD COMPANY
Solomon offers wisdom about being diligent and prudent, specifically when it comes to keeping good company. While enemies have no problem offering up lies and flattery, a true friend will give honest advice. Just like iron sharpens iron, surrounding yourself with good people will help you grow.
Be attentive to what you’ve been entrusted with, including your work, relationships, and time. There is no reason to brag about yourself; praise will mean more coming from other people. Wise people can anticipate danger, but the simple person will walk headfirst into trouble.
STUDY QUESTIONS
