In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth.
The verse goes on to say, “and some to honor and some to dishonor. If a man therefore purge himself from these [that is, the vessels unto dishonor], he shall be a vessel unto honor.” Your friends can make you a vessel unto dishonor. Who are your friends? Some will try to live a life to please the Lord, and some may be involved in worldly activities. At the end of his life Solomon’s heart was turned away from the Lord by his wives. He became a vessel to dishonor. The same could happen to you because of your friends. Be careful.
