You have to be cautious of who you hang around with. We tend to become like the people that we spend time with. If you want to become an athlete, hang around with athletes. If you want to become musical, hang around with musicians. If you want to become a stylish person, hang around with people who have style. If you want to become foolish (not sure why you would), hang around with foolish people.
Why? You'll become foolish because there is no wisdom or knowledge on their lips. In fact, Solomon even goes so far as to warn us to stay away from... avoid... foolish people.
Proverbs 14 (New International Version)
7 Stay away from a foolish man,for you will not find knowledge on his lips.
Wisdom for you today might mean... staying away from some people that are foolish... especially if you're shooting for wisdom!
Jim
(BTW: For some reason, Blogger won't let me upload the "wisdom sign"... sorry. And my apologies for missing yesterday... just didn't get a chance to get it done!)
