1. An undesirable friend is immoral and has no regard for others.
5:11 but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat. 2. An undesirable friend is changeable and unstable.
24:21 My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king; `And' company not with them that are given to change: 24:22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it?
3. An undesirable friend is frequently angry.
22:24 Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go: 22:25 Lest thou learn this ways, And get a snare to thy soul.
4. An undesirable friend gives ungodly counsel.
1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:
5. An undesirable friend is a lawless unbeliever.
6:14 Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever?
6. An undesirable friend is a fool.
13:20 Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it.
7. An undesirable friend is irreverent toward God and His laws.
119:63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, And of them that observe thy precepts.
