When God says...
"Go from the presence of a foolish man, When you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge." (Proverbs 14:7 NKJV)
We are instructed to disengage swiftly from the presence of fools. When they start celebrating wickedness and debasing righteousness, that's your cue. The Message Bible paraphrase says: "Escape quickly from the company of fools; they’re a waste of your time, a waste of your words." (Proverbs 14:7 MSG)
We gain nothing out of any involvement with fools. Only risk of losing sight of what is right. We are to stay clear from their path. They pose great danger to our life, specially our spiritual well-being. They reject God's wisdom and glorify that which they should be ashamed of. To them, it's like a sport! (Proverbs 10:23a). They scoff, scorn and mock anything godly, and embrace that which is abominable to God. We ought not sit in their seat. (Psalm 1:1).
They are stubborn in totally rejecting God, His word and His ways. “The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”.. (Psalm 14:1a ESV).
Yes, the ways of fools are toxic and hazard to our soul. As children of God by grace through faith in Jesus - that is having an intimate relationship with our Savior, we are to reject the way of foolishness and choose the way of wisdom. Navigating the world in such a time we are in, Apostle Paul exhorts us with these words: "See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. "(Ephesians 5:15, 16 NKJV)
And I say, AMEN!
