Proverbs 22:24 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Make no friendship with an angry man - Spirit has a wonderful and unaccountable influence upon spirit. From those with whom we associate we acquire habits, and learn their ways, imbibe their spirit, show their tempers and walk in their steps. We cannot be too choice of our company, for we may soon learn ways that will be a snare to our soul.
