Commentary on Proverbs 22:10

Theological / Devotional

Shall go out. Quarreling and abuse cease when scoffing is replaced by respectful acceptance and service of God (see ch. 26:20). To permit the scornful man to remain in our company is to invite trouble. There must be an element of decided selection in our formation of a group of close friends (1 Cor. 5:11).
