Beware of your Friends

Jeremiah 9:4-6

[4] “Beware of your friends;

    do not trust anyone in your clan.

For every one of them is a deceiver,

    and every friend a slanderer.

[5] Friend deceives friend,

    and no one speaks the truth.

They have taught their tongues to lie;

    they weary themselves with sinning.

[6] You live in the midst of deception;

    in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,”

declares the Lord.

Luke 23:10-12

[10] The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. [11] Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate. [12] That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.

Proverbs 12:26

[26] The righteous choose their friends carefully,

    but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
