Commentary on Proverbs 12:26 (Summary)

Proverbs 12:26 (ESV)

26 One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

Part of wisdom is knowing whom to stay away from and when. Even Jesus hid himself at times (John 8:59; John 12:36). And Joseph did the most heroic thing by fleeing away from Potiphar’s wife.
