For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence..... Some people feed on wickedness. It is their diet. They get anxious and irritable, when they cannot sin and hurt other people. They have no pleasure in righteousness, for it does not satisfy their cravings for mischief and harm. They invent evil things, for their minds are always working to take advantage of others gossiping and creating drama for members of your immediate families.(Rom 1:30). The world has many such people, and a wise man will make great efforts to avoid them and their ways. David loved Solomon, and Solomon loved Rehoboam. Both fathers exhorted their sons to get wisdom, for it is the most important acquisition in life, and it would bring many blessings on their lives (Pr 4:1-13). They went further and warned strictly about the grave danger of having evil friends or companions (Pr 4:14-17). David and Solomon knew that evil friends could easily corrupt their sons’ good manners (Pr 9:6; 13:20; I Cor 15:33). What is the lesson? Stay far away from such persons! Consider Solomon’s words. He wrote, “Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away” (Pr 4:14-15). Look at his words! There is no room for any compromise with these kind of wicked persons. You cannot even go near them. You must be intolerant of them, their ideas, and their practices. They will corrupt your good manners and take you down to destruction and hell with them. Stay away ..
