Warning Against Evil Company
Proverbs 24:1, 2
Be not you envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.


I. THE LOVE OF SOCIETY IS A NATURAL INSTINCT.

II. EVIL COMPANY IS OFTEN MOST FASCINATING.

III. THE ASSOCIATIONS THAT ARE FOUNDED UPON MERE FELLOWSHIP IN PLEASURE ABE SELDOM SATISFACTORY, OFTEN CORRUPTING.

IV. THE BAD MAN'S COMPANY IS MORE TO BE SHUNNED THAN THAT OF ONE SUFFERING FROM A CONTAGIOUS DISEASE. "Wicked companions," said a man of the world, the novelist Fielding, "invite us to hell." "They are like to be short graces when the devil plays the host," said another. - J.
