Proverbs 13:20
13:20 The one who associates with the wise grows wise,
but a companion of fools suffers harm.
Proverbs 23:20-21
23:20 Do not spend time among drunkards,
among those who eat too much meat,
23:21 because drunkards and gluttons become impoverished,
and drowsiness clothes them with rags.
Jude 1:4
1:4 For certain men
have secretly slipped in among you
– men who long ago
were marked out
for the condemnation I am about to describe
– ungodly men who have turned the grace of our God into a license for evil
and who deny our only Master
and Lord,
Jesus Christ.
Luke 15:12-17
15:12 The
younger of them said to his
father, ‘Father, give me the share of the estate
that will belong
to me.’ So
he divided his
assets between them.
15:13 After
a few days,
the younger son gathered together all he had and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered
his wealth
with a wild lifestyle.
15:14 Then
after he had spent everything, a severe famine took place in that country, and he began to be in need.
15:15 So he went and worked for
one of the citizens of that country, who
sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
15:16 He
was longing to eat
the carob pods
the pigs were eating, but
no one gave him anything.
15:17 But when he came to his senses
he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have food
enough to spare, but here I am dying from hunger!
