-25 (MSG) gives us a diagnosis we can't ignore: "Don’t hang out with angry people... Bad temper is contagious—don’t get infected." Notice the medical language. It doesn't say bad company is "annoying." It says it is contagious. You catch feelings just like you catch a cold.

Don't Get Infected – Why You Need to Quarantine Your Soul (Proverbs 22) 😷🚫
We wash our hands to stop a virus, but we let toxic people cough negativity all over our lives. It’s time to check your spiritual immune system. Proverbs
Today on Day 22, we are walking through Proverbs 22 to set some hard boundaries. We’re looking at why we keep walking into traps and how to finally protect our peace.
In this video, we cover:
✅ Reputation vs. Riches: Why "a sterling reputation is better than striking it rich" and why trust is the hardest currency to earn back (v. 1).
✅ Street Smarts: Why the simpleton gets "clobbered" and why wisdom is simply learning how to duck when you see trouble coming (v. 3).
✅ The Infection: Why you cannot heal while hanging out with people who are sick with anger, bitterness, or drama (v. 24). If you are tired of catching other people's chaos, it's time to mask up and set some boundaries.
