26 The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
26 The righteous is more excellent
26 One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor,
26 A good person survives misfortune, but a wicked life invites disaster.
26 The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.
26 The godly give good advice to their friends; the wicked lead them astray.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 12:26
Commentary on Proverbs 12:26
(Read Proverbs 12:26)
The righteous is abundant; though not in this world's goods, yet in the graces and comforts of the Spirit, which are the true riches. Evil men vainly flatter themselves that their ways are not wrong.
