Current coverage includes Proverbs. More books are being added.
Across Scripture, companions shape a person’s direction: close relationships teach habits, reinforce values, and spread either wisdom or harm. Proverbs highlights how friendships can strengthen character through honesty and loyalty, or corrupt it through pressure, flattery, and shared wrongdoing. The theme includes choosing associates carefully and recognizing that social influence is rarely neutral.
10My son, if sinners entice you, don`t consent.
20One who walks with wise men grows wise, But a companion of fools suffers harm.
7Stay away from a foolish man, For you won`t find knowledge on his lips.
28A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends.
17A friend loves at all times; And a brother is born for adversity.
24A man of many companions may be ruined, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
24Don`t befriend a hot-tempered man, And don`t associate with one who harbors anger:
25Lest you learn his ways, And ensnare your soul.
6Faithful are the wounds of a friend; Although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
9Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; So does earnest counsel from a man`s friend.
7Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; But he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
