Proverbs 9:13-17 - Be Careful of the Company You Keep
Proverbs 8:34-36
13 The woman Folly is loud;
she is seductive and knows nothing.
14 She sits at the door of her house;
she takes a seat on the highest places of the town,
15 calling to those who pass by,
who are going straight on their way,
16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
And to him who lacks sense she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
she is seductive and knows nothing.

Lesson Summary
- Following foolishness sends us down a wrong path.
- Jesus teaches us wisdom through His Word and by His Spirit.
- The more we know and live by that wisdom, the easier it is to know the difference between what is wise and what is foolish.
