‏ Proverbs 1:10

Parental Admonitions.

Solomon gives another important rule for young people: stay away from bad company. He warns that nothing destroys a good life faster than joining with those who do evil. This advice helps protect us from being led astray and teaches us to be careful about the friends we choose.

v. 10: Solomon says, My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent . Sinners will try to tempt others with kind words and promises of fun or gain. But their goal is to lead people into sin. If you do not agree with them, they cannot make you do wrong. This is the same warning Peter gave: Save yourselves from this crooked generation (Acts 2:40 a).
