年紀越長就越明白交友要謹慎如孔子說的「聽其言而觀其行」，這樣就更知其人了。聖經的智慧書箴言也講了許多有關愚昧人是如何的，以及與之做朋友必受虧損的描述，有些很圖像化很生動，列舉幾節經文如下：
「與智慧人同行的，必得智慧； 和愚昧人作伴的，必受虧損。」箴言 13:20 CUNP-神
「不要到愚昧人面前， 你無法從他嘴唇裏知道知識。」箴言 14:7 RCUV
「隱藏怨恨的，有說謊的嘴唇； 口出毀謗的，是愚昧人。」箴言 10:18 RCUV
「用杵把愚妄人與穀粒一同搗在臼中， 他的愚昧還是離不了他。」箴言 27:22 RCUV
「聽智慧人的責備， 強如聽愚昧人歌唱； 因為愚昧人的笑聲， 好像鍋子下面燒荊棘的爆聲， 這也是虛空。」傳道書 7:5-6 RCUV
「寧可聽智慧人安靜的話語，不聽掌權者在愚昧人中的喊聲。」傳道書 9:17 RCUV
「敬畏耶和華是知識的開端； 愚妄人藐視智慧和訓誨。」箴言 1:7 CUNP-神
「心中自是的，便是愚昧人； 憑智慧行事的，必蒙拯救。」箴言 28:26 CUNP-神
The older I am, the more I understand that one must be cautious about whom one hangs out with. As Confucius said, "listen to what one says and observe what one does.” This means to judge a person not by his words only but also by his actions; so that you will know them better. Proverbs, the book of wisdom in the Bible, tells us a lot about fools, and how one will suffer loss when they are friends with them. Some are very pictorial and vivid. Here are a few verses:
“Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.” Proverbs 13:20 NLT
“Stay away from fools, for you won’t find knowledge on their lips.”Proverbs 14:7 NLT
“Hiding hatred makes you a liar; slandering others makes you a fool.” Proverbs 10:18 NLT
“You cannot separate fools from their foolishness, even though you grind them like grain with mortar and pestle.” Proverbs 27:22 NLT
“Better to be criticized by a wise person than to be praised by a fool. A fool’s laughter is quickly gone, like thorns crackling in a fire. This also is meaningless.” Ecclesiastes 7:5-6 NLT
“It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise than to hear the song of fools. For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fools; this also is vanity.” Ecclesiastes 7:5-6 ESV
“Better to hear the quiet words of a wise person than the shouts of a foolish king.」” Ecclesiastes 9:17 NLT
“Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.” Proverbs 1:7 NLT
“Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.” Proverbs 28:26 ESV
