Proverbs 28:7
“Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.”
What does Proverbs 28:7 mean?
This proverb draws a sharp contrast between two kinds of character. A son who respects and follows what's right brings honor to his family, while one who runs with people obsessed with excess and indulgence brings shame. The point isn't really about food alone, but about the company we keep and whether we choose discipline or drift toward destructive habits. When we're intentional about who influences us and what standards we live by, we're not just helping ourselves, we're also honoring the people who love us.
