  Speaker 1: Proverbs, Chapter one, The Proverbs of Solomon, son of David,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: King of Israel, for gaining wisdom and instruction, for understanding
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: words of insight, for receiving instruction and prudent behavior, doing
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: what is right and just and fair, for giving prudence
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: let the discerning get guidance. For understanding proverbs and parables,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the sayings and riddles of the wives. The fear of
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: wisdom and instruction. Listen, my son, to your father's instruction,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and do not forsake your mother's teaching. They are garland
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to grace your head, and a chain to adorn your neck.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: in to them. If they say, come along with us,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: let's lie in wait for innocent blood. Let's ambush some
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: harmless soul. Let's swallow them alive like the grave and hole,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: like those who go down to the pit. We will
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: with plunder cast lots. With us, we will all share
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the loop. My son. Do not go along with them,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Do not set foot on their paths, for their feet
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: rush into evil. They are swift to shed blood, how
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: useless to spread a net where every bird can see it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: These men lie in wait for their own blood. They
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: ambush only themselves. Such are the paths of all who
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: go after ill gotten game. It takes away the life
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of those who get it out in the open. Wisdom
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: calls aloud. She raises her voice in the public square,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: on top of the walls. She cries out at the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: city gate. She makes her speech, How long will you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: who are simple love your simple ways? How long will
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: mockers delight in mockery, and fools hate knowledge? Repent at
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: my rebuke? Then I will pour out my thoughts to you.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I will make known to you my teachings. But since
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you refuse to listen when I call, and no one
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: pays attention when I stretch out my hand, since you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I in turn will laugh. When disaster strikes you. I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: will mock when calamity overtakes you, When calamity overtakes you
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: When distress and trouble overwhelm you, then they will call
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to me, but I will not answer. They will look
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: for me, but will not find me. Since they hated
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord, since
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: they would not accept my advice and spurn my rebuke,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: they will eat the fruit of their ways and be
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: filled with the fruit of their schemes. For the waywardness
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: fools will destroy them. But whoever listens to me will
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: live in safety and be at ease without fear of harm.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Proverbs too, my son, if you accept my words and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: store up my commands within you, turning your ear to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: wisdom and applying your heart to understanding. Indeed, if you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: if you look for it as for silver, and search
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: For the Lord gives wisdom from his mouth, come knowledge
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: for he guards the course of the just and protects
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the way of his faithful ones. Then you will understand
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: what is right and just and fair every good path.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: will guard you. Wisdom will save you from the ways
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse, who
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: have left the straight paths to walk in dark way,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of evil, whose paths are crooked, and who are devious
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in their ways. Wisdom will save you also from the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: adulterous woman, from the wayward woman, with her seductive words,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: who has left the partner of her youth and ignored
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the covenant she made before God. Surely her house leads
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: down to death in her paths, to the spirits of
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the dead. None who go to her return or attain
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the paths of life. Thus she will walk in the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: ways of the good and keep to the paths of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the righteous. For the upright will live in the land,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and the blameless will remain in it, but the wicked
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: will be torn from it. Proverbs, My son, do not
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: for they will prolong your life many years and bring
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you peace and prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: of your heart. Then you will win favor and a
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: good name in the sight of God and man. Trust
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: on your own understanding in all your ways. Submit to him,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and he will make your paths straight. Do not be
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: wise in your own eyes. Fear the Lord and shun evil.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: This will bring health to your body and nourishment to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: first fruits of all your crops. Then your barns will
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: with new wine. My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and do not resent his rebuke, Because the Lord disciplines
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: those he loves as a father, the son he delights in.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: For she is more profitable than silver, and yields better
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies. Nothing
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you desire can compare with her. Long life is in
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: her right hand, and her left hand are riches and honor.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: She is a tree of life to those who take
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: hold of her. Those who hold her fast will be
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: blessed by wisdom. The Lord laid the earth's foundations by understanding.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: He set the heavens in place. By his knowledge, the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: My son, do not let wisdom in understanding out of
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: your sight. Preserve sound, judgment and discretion. They will be
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you will go on your way in safety, and your
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: not be afraid. When you lie down, your sleep will
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: be at your side and will keep your foot from
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: being snared. Do not withhold good from those to whom
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it is due, when it is in your power to act.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Do not say to your neighbor, come back tomorrow, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I'll give it to you when you already have it,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: with you. Do not plot harm against your neighbor who
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: lives trustfully near you. Do not accuse anyone for no
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: reason when they have done you no harm. Do not
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: envy the violent, nor choose any of their ways. For
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the Lord detests the perverse, but takes the upright into
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: his confidence. The Lord's curse is on the house of
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: He mocks proud mockers, but shows favor to the humble
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and oppressed. The wise. Inherent honor, but fools get only shame.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Proverbs for listen, my sons to a father's instruction, Pay
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: attention and gain understanding. I give you sound learning, So
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: do not forsake my teaching. For I too was a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: son to my father, still tender and cherished by my mother.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Then he taught me, and he said to me, take
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: hold of my words with all your heart. Keep my commands,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and you will live. Get wisdom, get understanding. Do not
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: forget my words or turn away from them. Do not
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: forsake wisdom, and she will protect you. Love her and
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is this.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Get wisdom, though it cost all you have, Get understanding.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Cherish her and she will exalt you. Embrace her and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: she will honor you. She will give you a garland
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown. Listen,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: my son, accept what I say, and the years of
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: your life will be many. I instruct you in the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: way of wisdom and lead you in long, straight paths.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: When you walk, your steps will not be hampered. When
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: do not let it go. Guard it well, for it
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: is your life. Do not set foot on the path
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: of the wicked, or walk in the way of evil.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Doers avoid it, do not travel on it. Turn from it,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and go on your way. For they cannot rest until
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: they do evil. They are robbed of sleep till they
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: make someone stumble. They eat the bread of wickedness and
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: drink the wine of violence. The path of the righteous
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: full light of day. But the way of the wicked
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: is like deep darkness. They do not know what makes
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: them stumble. My son, pay attention to what I say.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Turn your ear to my words. Do not let them
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: out of your sight, Keep them within your heart, for
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: they are life to those who find them, and health
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to one's whole body. Above all else, guard your heart,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: free of perversity. Keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: to the right or the left. Keep your foot from evil.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter five. My son, pay attention to my wisdom.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Turn your ear to my words of insight, that you
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: may maintain discretion, and your lips may preserve knowledge. For
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: speech is smoother than will. But in the end she
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: is bitter as gall sharp as a double edged sword.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Her feet go down to death, her steps lead straight
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to the grave. She gives no thought to the way
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of life. Her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: know it. Now, then, my sons, listen to me. Do
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: not turn aside from what I say. Keep to a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: path far from her. Do not go near the door
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: of her house, lest you lose your honor to others
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and your dignity to one who is cruel. Lest strangers
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: feast on your wealth and your toil enrich the house
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: of another. At the end of your life, you will
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: groan when your flesh and body are spent. You will say,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: how I hated discipline, how my heart spurned correction. I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: would not obey my teachers or turn my ear to
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: my instructors, and I was soon in serious trouble in
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the assembly of God. People, drink water from your own sister,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: running water from your own well. Should your springs overflow
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Let them be yours alone, never to be sheared with strangers.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: May your fountain be blessed. And may you rejoice in
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the wife of your youth, a loving doe, a graceful dear.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: May her breasts satisfy you always. May you ever be
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: intoxicated with her love. Why my son be intoxicated with
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: another man's wife, Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: For your ways are in full view of the Lord,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and he examines all your paths. The evil deeds of
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the wicked ensnare them. The cords of their sins hold
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: them fast. For lack of discipline, they will die. Let
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: us stray by their own great folly. Proverbs chapter six.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: if you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the words of your mouth. So do this, my son,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Go to the point of exhaustion and give your neighbor
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: no rest. Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: to your eyelids. Free yourself, like a gazelle from the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: of the fowler. Go to the ant, you, sluggard, Consider
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: its ways and be wise. It has no commander, no
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: overseer or ruler. Yet it stores its provisions in summer,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: lie there, you sluggard, When will you get up from
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: your sleep, A little sleep, a little slumber, a little
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: folding of the hands, to rest and poverty. He will
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: come on you like a thief and scarcity, like an
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: armed man, a trouble maker, and a villain who goes
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: about with the corrupt mouth, who winks maliciously with his eye,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: signals with his feet, and motions with his fingers, who
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: plots evil with deceit in his heart. He always stirs
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: up conflict. Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: He will suddenly be destroyed without remedy. There are six
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: things the Lord hates. Seven that are detestable to him.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: My son, keep your father's command, and do not forsake
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: your mother's teaching. Bind them always on your heart, Fasten
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: them around your neck when you walk. They will guide
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: you when you sleep, they will watch over you. When
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: you awake, they will speak to you. For this command
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: is a lair, this teaching is a light, and correction
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: and instruction are the way to life. Keeping you from
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: your neighbor's wife, from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Do not lust in your heart after her beauty, or
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: let her captivate you with her eyes. For a prostitute
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: can be had for a loaf of bread, But another
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: man's wife preys on your very life. Can a man
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: being scorched? So is he who sleeps with another man's wife.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: No one who touches her will go unpunished. People do
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: hunger when he is starving. Yet if he is caught,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: he must pay a sevenfold though it costs him all
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the wealth of his house. But a man who commits
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: adultery has no sense. Whoever does so destroys himself, blows
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: in disgrace. Are his lot, and his shame will never
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: be wiped away. For jealousy arouses a husband's fury, and
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: he will show no mercy. When he takes revenge. He
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: will not accept any compensation. He will refuse a bribe,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: however great it is Proverbs chapter seven, My son, keep
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: my words and storm my commands within you. Keep my commands,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: and you will live. Guard my teachings as the apple
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: of your eye. Bind them on your fingers, write them
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom you
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: are my sister, and to insight you are my relative.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: They will keep you from the adulterous woman, from the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: wayward woman with her seductive words. At the window of
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: my house, I looked down through the lattice, I saw
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: among the simple. I noticed among the young men a
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: youth who had no sense. He was going down the
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: street near her corner, walking along in the direction of
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: her house at twilight, as the day was fading, as
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the dark of night set in. Then out came a
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: woman to meet him. Dressed like a prostitute and with
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: crafty intent. She is unruly and defiant. Her feet never
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: stay at home. Now in the street, now in the squares.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: At every corner she lurks. She took hold of him
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and kissed him, and with a brazen face, she said,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to day, I've fulfilled my vows, and I have food
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: from the fellowship offering at home. So I came out
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: to meet you. I looked for you and have found you.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I have covered bed with colored linens from Egypt. I
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: have perfumed my bed with myrrh aloes and sentiment. Come,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: let's drink deeply of love. Till morning. Let's enjoy ourselves
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: with love. My husband is not at home. He has
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: gone on a long journey. He took his purse filled
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: with money, and will not be home till full moon.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: With persuasive words, she let him astray. She seduced him
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: with her smooth talk. All at once, he followed her
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: stepping into a noose, till an arrow pierces his liver,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: will cost him his life. Now, then, my sons, listen
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: to me, pay attention to what I say. Do not
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: let your heart turn to her ways or stray into
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: her paths. Many are victims. She has brought down her
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: slain and are a mighty throng. Her house is a
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter eight. Does not wisdom, call out, does not understanding,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: raise her voice. At the highest point along the way
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: where the paths meet, she takes her stand beside the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: gate leading into the city. At the entrance, she cries
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: aloud to you, o people, I call out. I raise
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: my voice to all mankind, you who are simple. Gain prudence.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: You who are foolish, set your hearts on it. Listen,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: for I have trustworthy things to say. I open my
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: lips to speak what is right. My mouth speaks what
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: is true. For my lips to test wickedness. All the
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: words of my mouth are just. None of them is
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: crooked or perverse to the discerning. All of them are right.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: They are upright. To those who have found knowledge, choose
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: desire can compare with her. I wisdom dwell together with prudence.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I possess knowledge and discretion. To fear the Lord is
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: to hate evil. I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: in perverse speech. Counsel, and sound judgment are mine. I
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: have insight. I have power by me. King's reign and
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: rulers issue decrees that are just by me. Princes govern
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and nobles all who rule on earth. I love those
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: who love me, and those who seek me find me.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: My fruit is better than fine gold. When I yield
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: surpasses choice silver, I walk in the way of righteousness,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: along the paths of justice, bestowing a rich inheritance on
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: those who loved me, and making their treasuries full. The
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: before his deeds of old. I was formed long ages ago,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: at the very beginning when the world came to be.
