Proverbs 22:24–25 NKJV
24 Make no friendship with an angry man,
      And with a furious man do not go,
       25 Lest you learn his ways
      And set a snare for your soul.

Encouragement for Today
These verses give permission to avoid close relationships with angry or "toxic" people. You may not be able to avoid them altogether—they may be members of your family. However, you can avoid getting too close. You can avoid constant association with them. You can be pleasant and kind, but keep your distance. These verses imply that angry people are actually dangerous to your soul. They'll bring you down to their level, every time. You become like those you associate with regularly.
