Proverbs 14:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 14:7
Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you perceive not in him the lips of knowledge. Upon recognizing someone lacks knowledge and wisdom, separate from them. The imperatives 'go' and 'when you perceive' demand active departure once folly is identified. This verse advocates selective association - avoid fools because their company corrupts. Association with foolish persons provides no benefit and poses spiritual danger.
