"Worthless Men" - Proverbs 6:12-19

Pastor Wilkins: "In the first half of this chapter Solomon describes three types of worthless companions that his son must avoid. In the first five verses, he speaks about men who foolishly guarantee the debts of others. Then Solomon tells about the slothful man (vv. 6-11). This is a more serious form of rebellion. The slothful man rejects his calling to care for the world and beautify it, making it by his hard work and the blessing of God more and more glorious. The sluggard will be mugged by the judgment of God (6:11). The third category of men that Solomon mentions are the “worthless men” (vv. 12-15). Literally the phrase is 'a man of Belial.'”
