Read Proverbs 26:6-8 Solomon is still talking about a fool here in chapter 26. We saw yesterday that the words of a fool don't make sense. Verse 6 tells us that we are wasting our time to send a message by a fool. If you want to send a message to one of your friends, do you just take your message and throw it out into the back yard? No, that would be silly. But if you give a message to someone who always forgets what he is supposed to be doing, he will just leave your message in his pocket and forget about it. Then his mother will wash his clothes and put them in the dryer. Then she will fold his pants up and put them in his dresser. A few days later, your forgetful friend takes out his pants and puts them on. Later that day he feels a lump in his pocket and pulls out a wadded, mushed-up hunk of paper and wonders how it got into his pocket. He won't even remember that it was your message! So, how much good did it do you to write that message? You wasted your time, didn't you? Don't waste your time with unfaithful people. Spend your time with trustworthy friends.
