  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 2: In to them.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: If they say, come along with us, let's lie in
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: wait for innocent blood. Let's ambush some harmless soul. Let's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: swallow them alive like the grave and hole, like those
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: who go down to the pit. We will get all
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: cast lots. With us, we will all share the loop.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: My son.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Do not go along with them, Do not set foot
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: on their paths, for their feet rush into evil. They
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: are swift to shed blood, how useless to spread a
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: net where every bird can see it. These men lie
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in wait for their own blood. They ambush only themselves.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Such are the paths of all who go after ill
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: gotten game. It takes away the life of those who
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: get it out in the open. Wisdom calls aloud. She
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: raises her voice in the public square, on top of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the walls. She cries out at the city gate. She
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: makes her speech, How long will you who are simple
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and fools hate knowledge? Repent at my rebuke? Then I
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: will pour out my thoughts to you. I will make
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: known to you my teachings. But since you refuse to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: listen when I call, and no one pays attention when
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I stretch out my hand, since you disregard all my
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: advice and do not accept my rebuke, I in turn
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: will laugh. When disaster strikes you. I will mock when
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: calamity overtakes you, When calamity overtakes you like a storm,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind. When distress
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and trouble overwhelm you, then they will call to me,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: but I will not answer. They will look for me,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: but will not find me. Since they hated knowledge and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: did not choose to fear the Lord, since they would
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: not accept my advice and spurn my rebuke, they will
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the fruit of their schemes.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: For the waywardness of.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: The simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: will destroy them. But whoever listens to me will live
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: 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.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Torn from it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Proverbs, My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. Let
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: love and faithfulness never leave you. Bind them around your neck,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: will win favor and a good name in the sight
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: your heart, and lean not on your own understanding in
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: all your ways. Submit to him, and he will make
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: your crops. Then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and your vats will brim over with new wine. My son,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: do not despise the Lord's discipline, and do not resent
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: his rebuke, Because the Lord disciplines those he loves as
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a father, the son he delights in. Blessed are those
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: who find wisdom, those who gain understanding. For she is
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: more profitable than silver, and yields better returns than gold.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: She is more precious than rubies. Nothing you desire can
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: compare with her. Long life is in her right hand,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: is a tree of life to those who take hold
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of her. Those who hold her fast will be blessed
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: 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.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: You no harm.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Do not envy the violent, nor choose any of their ways.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: For the Lord detests the perverse, but takes the upright
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: into his confidence. The Lord's curse is on the house
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of 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.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: The wise.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Inherent honor, but fools get only shame. Proverbs for listen,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: my sons to a father's instruction, Pay attention and gain understanding.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I give you sound learning, So do not forsake my teaching.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: For I too was a son to my father, still
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: tender and cherished by my mother. Then he taught me,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and he said to me, take hold of my words
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: with all your heart. Keep my commands, and you will live.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Get wisdom, get understanding. Do not forget my words or
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: will protect you. Love her and she will watch over you.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: The beginning of wisdom is this. Get wisdom, though it
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: cost all you have, Get understanding. Cherish her and she
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: will exalt you. Embrace her and she will honor you.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: She will give you a garland to grace your head
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and present you with a glorious crown. Listen, my son,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: accept what I say, and the years of your life
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: will be many. I instruct you in the way of
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: wisdom and lead you in long, straight paths. When you walk,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: will not stumble. Hold on to instruction, do not let
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: it go. Guard it well, for it is your life.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Do not set foot on the path of the wicked,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: or walk in the way of evil. Doers avoid it,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: do not travel on it. Turn from it, and go
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: on your way. For they cannot rest until they do evil.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: They are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: of violence. The path of the righteous is like the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: They do not know what makes them stumble. My son,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: pay attention to what I say. Turn your ear to
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: my words. Do not let them out of your sight,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Keep them within your heart, for they are life to
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: those who find them, and health to one's whole body.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity. Keep
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: thought to the paths for your feet, and be steadfast
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: in all your ways. Do not turn to the right
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: or the left. Keep your foot from evil. Proverbs chapter five.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to my words of insight, that you may maintain discretion,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and your lips may preserve knowledge. For the lips of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: than will. But in the end she is bitter as
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: gall sharp as a double edged sword. Her feet go
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: down to death, her steps lead straight to the grave.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: She gives no thought to the way of life. Her
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it. Now, then,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: my sons, listen to me. Do not turn aside from
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: what I say. Keep to a path far from her.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Do not go near the door of her house, lest
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you lose your honor to others and your dignity to one.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Who is cruel.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Lest strangers feast on your wealth and your toil enrich
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the house of another. At the end of your life,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you will groan when your flesh and body are spent.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: You will say, how I hated discipline, how my heart
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: spurned correction. I would not obey my teachers or turn
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: my ear to my instructors, and I was soon in
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: serious trouble in the assembly of God. People, drink water
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: from your own sister, running water from your own well.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: water in the public squares, Let them be yours alone,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: never to be sheared with strangers. May your fountain be blessed.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: And may you rejoice in the wife of your youth,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a loving doe, a graceful dear. May her breasts satisfy
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: you always. May you ever be intoxicated with her love.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Why my son be intoxicated with another man's wife, Why
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: embrace the bosom of a wayward woman.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: For your ways are in.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them. The cords
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: of their sins hold them fast. For lack of discipline,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: they will die. Let us stray by their own great folly.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: 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, however.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Great it is.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter seven, My son, keep my words and storm
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: my commands within you. Keep my commands, and you will live.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Guard my teachings as the apple of your eye. Bind
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: them on your fingers, write them on the tablet of
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: your heart. Say to wisdom you are my sister, and
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: to insight you are my relative. They will keep you
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: seductive words. At the window of my house, I looked
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: down through the lattice, I saw among the simple. I
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: noticed among the young men a youth who had no sense.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: He was going down the street near her corner, walking
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: along in the direction of her house at twilight, as
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the day was fading, as the dark of night set in.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Then out came a woman to meet him. Dressed like
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a prostitute and with crafty intent. She is unruly and defiant.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Her feet never stay at home. Now in the street,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: now in the squares. At every corner she lurks. She
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: took hold of him and kissed him, and with a
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: brazen face, she said, to day, I've fulfilled my vows,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and I have food from the fellowship offering at home.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: So I came out to meet you. I looked for
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you and have found you. I have covered bed with
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: colored linens from Egypt. I have perfumed my bed with
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: myrrh aloes and sentiment. Come, let's drink deeply of love.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Till morning. Let's enjoy ourselves with love. My husband is
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: not at home. He has gone on a long journey.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: He took his purse filled with money, and will not
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: be home till full moon. With persuasive words, she let
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: him astray. She seduced him with her smooth talk. All
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: at once, he followed her like an ox going to
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose, till
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life. Now, then,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: my sons, listen to me, pay attention to what I say.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Do not let your heart turn to her ways or
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: stray into her paths. Many are victims. She has brought
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: down her slain and are a mighty throng. Her house
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: is a highway to the grave, leading down to the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: chambers of death. Proverbs chapter eight. Does not wisdom, call out,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: does not understanding, raise her voice. At the highest point
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: along the way where the paths meet, she takes her
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: stand beside the gate leading into the city. At the entrance,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: she cries aloud to you, o people, I call out.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I raise my voice to all mankind, you who are simple.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Gain prudence. 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.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: To fear the Lord is to hate evil.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior in perverse speech. Counsel,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and sound judgment are mine. I have insight. I have
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: power by me. King's reign and rulers issue decrees that
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: are just by me. Princes govern and nobles all who
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: rule on earth. I love those who love me, and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: those who seek me find me. With me are riches
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity. My fruit is better
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: than fine gold. When I yield surpasses choice silver, I
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: bestowing a rich inheritance on those who loved me, and
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: making their treasuries full. The Lord brought me forth as
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the first of his works, before his deeds of old.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: when the world came to be, when there were no
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: watery depths. I was given birth when there were no
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: springs overflowing with water, before the mountains were settled in place,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: before the hills. I was given birth before he made
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the world or its fields, or any of the dust
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: of the earth.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I was there when.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: He set the heavens in place, when he marked out
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the horizon on the face of the deep, when he
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the deep, when he gave the sea its boundary the
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: waters cannot overstep his command. And when he marked out
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the foundations of the earth. Then I was constantly at
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: his side. I was filled with delight day after day,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: rejoicing always in his presence, rejoicing in his whole world,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and delighting in mankind. Now, then my children, listen to me.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Blessed are those who keep my ways. Listen to my instruction,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and be wise, do not disregard it. Blessed are those
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: at my doorway. For those who find me find life
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: and receive favor from the Lord. But those who fail
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: to find me harm themselves. All who hate me love death.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter nine. Wisdom has built her house, She has
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: set up its seven pillars. She has prepared her meat
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and mixed her wine. She has also set her table.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: She has sent out her servants, and she calls from
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the highest point of the city. Let all who are
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: simple come to my house. To those who have no sense,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: she says, come, eat my food and drink the wine
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I have mixed. Leave your simple ways, and you will live.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Walk in the way of insight. Whoever corrects a mocker
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: invites insults. Whoever rebukes the wicked and curs abuse. Do
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: not rebuke mockers, or they will hate you. Rebuke the wise,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and they will love you. Instruct the wise, and they
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: will be wiser. Still, Teach the righteous, and they will
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: add to their learning. The fear of the Lord is
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: is understanding. For through wisdom your days will be many,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: and years will be added to your life. If you
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: are wise, your wisdom will reward you. If you are
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a mocker, you alone will suffer. Folly is an unruly woman.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: She is simple and knows nothing. She sits at the
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: door of her house, on a seat at the highest
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: point of the city, calling out to those who pass by,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: who go straight on their way. Let all who are
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: simple come to my house. To those who have no sense,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: she says, stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: is delicious. But little do they know that the dead
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: are there, that her guests are deep in the realm
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: of the dead. Proverbs, chapter ten. A wise son brings
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: joy to his father, but a foolish son brings grief
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: to his mother. Ill Gotten treasures have no lasting value,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: them righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: bring wealth. He who gathers crops in summer is a
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: disgraceful son. Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. The name of
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the righteous is used in blessings, but the name of
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the wicked will rot. The wise and heart accept commands,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: but a chattering fool comes to ruin. Whoever walks in
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Will be found out.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Whoever winks maliciously causes grief, and a chattering fool comes
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: to ruin. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Hatreds up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs. Wisdom
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: is found on the lips of the discerning, but a
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: ride is for the back of one who has no sense.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: The wise store of knowledge, but the mouth of a
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: fool invites ruin. The wealth of the rich is their
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: fortified city, but poverty is the ruin of the poor.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: The wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: of the wicked are sin and death. Whoever heeds discipline
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: others astray. Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: slander is a fool. Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: but the prudent hold their tongues. The tongue of the
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: is of little value. The lips of the righteous nourish many,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: but fools die for lack of sense. The blessing of
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the Lord brings wealth without painful toil for it. A
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes, but a person of
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: understanding delights and wisdom. What the wicked dread will overtake them.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: What the righteous desire will be granted. When the storm
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: has swept by. The wicked are gone, but the righteous
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: stand firm forever. As vinegar to the teeth and smoke
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: to the eyes, so are sluggards to those who send them.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: The fear of the Lord adds length to life, but
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the years of the wicked are cut short. The prospect
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: wicked come to nothing. The way of the Lord is
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: a refuge for the blameless, but it is the ruin
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: of those who do we evil. The righteous will never
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: be uprooted, but the wicked will not remain in the land.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: From the mouth of the righteous comes the fruit of wisdom,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: but a perverse tongue will be silenced. The lips of
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the righteous know what finds favor, but the mouth of
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the wicked only what is perverse. Proverbs eleven. The Lord
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: detests dishonest scales, but accurate waits find favor with him.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: When pride comes, then comes disgrace. But with humility comes wisdom.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: are destroyed by their duplicity. Wealth is worthless in the
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. The righteousness
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: of the blameless makes their path straight, but the wicked
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: are brought down by their own wickedness. The righteousness of
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: evil desires. Hopes placed in mortals die with them. All
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the promise of their power comes to nothing. The righteous
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: person is rescued from trouble, and it falls on the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: wicked instead. With their mouths, the godless destroy their neighbors,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: but through knowledge, the righteous escape. When the righteous prosper,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there are shouts
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: of joy through the blessing of the upright. A city
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: is destroyed. Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense, but
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: the one who has understanding holds their tongue. A gossip
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: For lack of guidance, a nation falls, but victory is
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: won through many advisers. Whoever puts up security for a
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: stranger will surely suffer, but whoever refuses to shake hands
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and pledge is safe. A kind hearted woman gains honor,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: but ruthless men gain only wealth. Those who are kind
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: benefit themselves, but the cruel bring ruin on themselves. A
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: wicked person earns deceptive wages, but the one who sows
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: righteousness reaps a sure reward. Truly, the righteous attain life,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: but whoever pursues evil finds death. The Lord detests those
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: ways are blameless. Be sure of this. The wicked will
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Like a gold ring in a pig snout is a
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: beautiful woman who shows no discretion. The desire of the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: righteous ends only in good, but the hopes of the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: wicked only in wrath. One person gives freely, yet gains
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: even more. Another withholds unduly but comes to poverty. A
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: generous person will prosper. Whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: People curse the one who hoards grain, but they pray
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: God's blessing on the one who is willing to sell.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: who searches for it. Those who trust in their riches
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: and the fool will be servant to the wise. The
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: the one who is wise saves lives. If the righteous
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: and the sinner Proverbs twelve. Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: but whoever hates correction is stupid. Good people obtain favor
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: from the Lord, but he condemns those who devise wicked schemes.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: No one can be established through wickedness, but the righteous
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: cannot be uprooted. A wife of noble characters her husband's crown,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: of the wicked is deceitful. The words of the wicked
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: lie in wait for blood, but the speech of the
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: upright rescues them. The wicked are overthrown and are no more,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: but the house of the righteous stands firm. A person
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: is praised according to their prudence, and one with a
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: warped mind is despised. Better to be a nobody and
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: have no food. The righteous care for the needs of
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Those who work their land will have abundant food, but
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: those who chase phantasies have no sense. The wicked desire
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the stronghold of evil doers, but the root of the
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: righteous endoers. Evil doers are trapped by their sinful talk,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: and so the innocent escape trouble from the fruit of
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: their lips. People are filled with good things, and the
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: work of their hands brings their reward. The way of
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: and insult. An honest witness tells the truth, but a
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: false witness tells lies. The words of the reckless pierce
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: a moment. Deceit is in the hearts of those who
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy. No
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: harm overtakes the righteous, but the wicked have their fill
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: of trouble. The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: in people who are trustworthy. The prudent keep their knowledge
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: to themselves, but a fool's heart blurts out folly. Diligent
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: hands will rule, but a laziness ends in forced labor.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: it up. The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: way of the wicked leads them astray. The lazy do
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: riches of the hunt. In the way of righteousness, there
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: is life. Along that path is immortality. Proverbs chapter thirteen
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: a wise son heeds his father's instruction, but a mocker
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: does not respond to rebukes from the fruit of their lips.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: People enjoy good things, but the unfaithful have an appetite
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: for violence. Those who guard their lips preserve their lives,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: but those who speak rashly will come to ruin. A
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: sluggard's appetite is never filled, but the desires of the
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: diligent are fully satisfied. The righteous hate what is false,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: but the wicked make themselves hellos a stench and brings
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: shame on themselves. Righteousness guards the person of integrity, but
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: wickedness overthrows the sinner. One person pretends to be rich,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: yet has nothing. Another pretends to be poor, yet has
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: great wealth. A person's riches may ransom their life, but
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes. The light of
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: is snuffed out. Where there is strife, there is pride,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: But wisdom is found in those who take advice. Dishonest
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: makes it grow. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Whoever scorns
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: instruction will pay for it, but whoever respects a command
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: is warden. The teaching of the wise is a fountain
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: of life, turning a person from the snares of death.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Good judgment wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: leads to their destruction. All who are prudent act with knowledge,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: but fools expose their folly. A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: but a trustworthy envoy brings healing. Whoever disregards discipline comes
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: A longing fulfilled.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Walk with the wise and become wise. For a companion
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: of fools suffers harm. Trouble pursues the sinner, but the
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: righteous are rewarded with good things. A good person leaves
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: an inheritance for their children's children, but a sinner's wealth
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: is stored up for the righteous. An unplowed field produces
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: food for the poor, but injustice sweeps it away. Whoever
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: spares the rod hates their children, but the one who
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: loves their children is careful to discipline them. The righteous
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: eat to their hearts content, but the stomach of the
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: wicked goes hungry.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Proverbs fourteen.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: The wise woman builds her house, but with her own
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: hands the foolish one tears hers down. Whoever fears the
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Lord walks uprightly, but those who despise him are devious
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: in their ways. A fool's mouth lashes out with pride,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: but the lips of the wise protect them. Where there
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: are no oxen, the manger is empty, but from the
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: strength of an ox come abundant harvests. An honest witness
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: The mockers seeks wisdom and finds none. But knowledge comes
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: easily to the discerning. Stay away from a fool, for
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: you will not find knowledge on their lips. The wisdom
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: of the prudent is to give thought to their ways,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: but the folly of.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Fools is deception.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Fools mock at making amends for sin, but good will
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: is found among the upright. Each heart knows its own bitterness,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: and no one else can share its joy. The house
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: the upright will flourish. There is a way that appears
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: to be right, but in the end it leads to death.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Even in laughter, the heart may ache, and rejoicing may
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: end in grief. The faithless will be fully repaid for
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: their ways, and the good rewarded for theirs. The simple
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: The wise fear the lord and shun evil, but a
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: fool is hot headed and yet feel secure. A quick
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: tempered person does foolish things, and the one who devises
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: evil schemes is hated. The simple inherent folly, but the
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: prudent are crowned with knowledge. Evil doers will bow down
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: in the presence of the good, and the wicked at
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: the gates of the righteous. The poor are shunned even
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: by their neighbors, but the rich have many friends. It
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: is a sin to despise one's neighbor, but blessed is
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the one who is kind to the needy. Do not
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: those who plot evil go astray, but those who plan
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: what is good find love and faithfulness. All hard work
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: brings a prophet, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: The wealth of the wise is their crown, but the
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: folly of fools yields folly. A truthful witness saves lives,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: but a false witness is deceitful. Whoever fears the Lord
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: has a secure fortress, and for their children it.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: Will be a refuge.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: turning a person from the snares of death. A large
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: population is a king's glory, but without subjects, a prince
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: is ruined. Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: who is quick tempered displays folly.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: A heart at.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their maker. But
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: whoever is kind to the needy honors God. When calamity comes,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: the wicked are brought down. But even in death the
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: right place just seek refuge in God. Wisdom reposes in
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: the heart of the discerning, and even among fools, she
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: lets herself be known. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: condemns any people. A king delights in a wise servant,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: but a shameful servant arouses his fury.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Proverbs fifteen.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. The eyes
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: and the good. The soothing tongue is a tree of life,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. A fool's earns
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: a parent's discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. The
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: house of the righteous contains great treasure, but the income
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: of the wicked brings ruin. The lips of the wise
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: spread knowledge, but the hearts of fools are not upright.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: prayer of the upright pleases him. The Lord detests the
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue righteousness.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Stern discipline awaits anyone who leaves the path. The one
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: who hates correction will die. Death and destruction lie open
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: before the Lord. How much more do human hearts. Mockers
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: resent correction, so they avoid the wise. A happy heart
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit. The
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: feeds on folly. All the days of the oppressed are wretched.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: But the cheerful heart has a continual feast. Better a
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: little with the fear of the lord than great wealth
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: with turmoil. Better a small serving of vegetables with love
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: than a fattened calf with hatred. A hot tempered person
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: a quarrel. The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: but the path of the upright is a highway. A
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: man despises his mother. Folly brings joy to one who
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: has no sense, but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: they succeed. Person finds joy in giving an apt reply,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: and how good is a timely word. The path of
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: life leads upward for the prudent, to keep them from
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: going down to the realm of the dead. The Lord
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: tears down the house of the proud, but he sets
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: the widow's boundary stones in place. The Lord detests the
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: thoughts of the wicked, but gracious words are pure in
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: his sight. The greedy bring ruin to their households, but
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: the one who hates bribes will live. The heart of
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: wicked gushes evil. The Lord is far from the wicked,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: but he hears the prayer of the righteous. Light in
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: a messenger's eyes brings joy to the heart, and good
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: news gives health to the bones. Whoever heeds life giving
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: correction will be at home among the wise. Those who
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: gains understanding. Wisdom's instruction is to fear the Lord, and
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: humility comes before honor Proverbs chapter sixteen. To humans belong
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: the proper answer of the tongue. All a person's ways
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: establish your plans. The Lord works out everything to its
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: proper end, even the wicked. For a day of disaster,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: the Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: of this, they will not go unpunished. Through love and faithfulness,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: sin is atoned for the fear of the Lord. Evil
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: is avoided when the Lord takes pleasure in anyone's way.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: He causes their enemies to make peace with them. Better
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice. In
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: their steps. The lips of a king speak as an oracle,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: and his mouth does not betray justice. Honest scales and
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: balances belong to the Lord. All the weights in the
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: bag are of his making. Kings detest wrongdoing, for a
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: throne is established through righteousness. Kings take pleasure and honest lips.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: They value the one who speaks what is right. A
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: king's wrath is a messenger of death, but the wise
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: will appease it. When a king's face brightens, it means
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: life as favor is like.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: A rain cloud in spring.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: insight rather than silver. The high way of the upright
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: avoids evil. Those who guard their ways preserve their lives.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: than to share plunder with the proud. Whoever gives heed
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: to instruction prospers and blessed is the one who trusts
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: in the Lord. The wise and heart are called discerning,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: and gracious words promote instruction. Prudence is a fountain of
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: life to the prudent, but folly brings punishment to fools.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: their lips promote instruction. Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: to the soul and healing to the bones. There is
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: a way that appears to be right, but in the
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: end it leads to death. The appetite of laborers works
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: for them. Their hunger drives them on. A scoundrel plots
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: evil and on their lips. It is like a scorching fire.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: close friends. A violent person entices their neighbor and leads
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: them down a path that is not good. Whoever winks
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: with their eyes plotting perversity, whoever purses their lips, is
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: bent on evil. Gray hair is a crown of splendor.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: It is attained in the way of righteousness. Better a
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: patient person than a warrior, one with self control than
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: one who takes a city. The lot is cast into
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: the lap, but every decision is from the Lord. Proverbs seventeen.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: house full of feasting with strife. A prudent servant will
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: rule over a disgraceful son, and will share the inheritance
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: as one of the family. The crucible for silver and
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: the furnace for gold. But the Lord tests the heart.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: A wicked person listens to deceitful lips. A liar pays
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: attention to a destructive tongue. Whoever mocks the poor shows
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: contempt for their maker. Whoever gloats over disaster will not
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: go unpunished. Children's children are crown to the aged, and
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: parents are the pride of their children. Eloquent lips are
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: unsuited to a godless fool, how much worse lying lips
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: to a ruler. A bribe is seen as a charm
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: by the one who gives it. They think success will
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: come at every turn. Whoever would foster love covers over
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: A rebuke impresses a discerning person more than a hundred
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: lashes a fool. Evil doers foster rebellion against God. The
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: messenger of death will be sent against them. Better to
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: bent on folly. Evil will never leave the house of
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: one who pays back evil for good. Starting a quarrel
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: is like breaching a damn, So drop the matter before
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: a dispute breaks out, acquitting the guilty in condemning the innocent,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: the lord detests them both. Why should fools have money
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: in hand to buy wisdom when they are not able
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: to understand it. A friend loves at all times, and
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: a brother is born for a time of adversity. One
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: who has no sense shakes hands in pledge and puts
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: up security for a neighbor. Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Whoever builds a high gate invites destruction. One whose heart
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: is corrupt does not prosper. One whose tongue is perverse
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: falls into trouble. To have a fool for a child
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: brings grief. There is no joy for the parent of
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: a godless fool. A cheerful heart is good medicine, but
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: a crushed spirit drives up the bones. The wicked except
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice. A
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: discerning person keeps wisdom in view, but a fool's eye
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: wanders to the ends of the earth. A foolish son
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: brings grief to his father and bitterness to the mother
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: who bore him. If imposing a fine on the innocent
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: is not good, surely to flog honest officials is not right.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: whoever has understanding is even tempered. Even fools are thought
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: wise if they keep silent and discerning, if they hold
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: their tongues.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Proverbs chapter eighteen.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends, and against all sound judgments,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: starts quarrels. Fools find no pleasure in understanding, or delight
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: in erring their own opinions. When wickedness comes, so does contempt,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: and with shame comes reproach. The words of the mouth
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: are deep waters, but the fountain of wisdom is a
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: rushing stream. It is not good to be partial to
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: the wicked, and so prive the innocent of justice. The
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: a beating. The mouths of fools are their undoing, and
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: their lips are a snare to their very lives. The
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: words of a gossip are like choice morsels, they go
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: down to the inmost parts. One who is slack in
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: his work is brother to one who destroys. The name
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: of the Lord is a fortified tower. The righteous run
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: to it and are safe. The wealth of the rich
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: is their fortified city. They imagine it a wall too
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: high to scale before a downfall. The heart is haughty,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: but humility comes before honor. To answer before listening, that
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: is folly and shame. The human spirit can endure in sickness,
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: but a crushed spirit who.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Can bear.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge. For the ears
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: of the wise seek it out. A gift opens the
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: In a law suit, the first to speak seems right
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: until some one comes forward and cross examines. Casting the
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: light settles disputes and keeps strong opponents apart. A brother
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: wronged is more unyielding than a fortified city. Disputes are
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: like the barred gates of a citadel. From the fruit
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: of their mouth, a person's stomach is filled with the
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: harvest of their lips.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: They are satisfied.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: The tongue has the power of life and death, and
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: those who love it will eat its fruit. He who
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: from the lord. The poor plead for mercy, but the
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: rich answer harshly. One who has unreliable friends soon comes
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: to ruin. But there is a friend who sticks closer
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: than a brother Proverbs nineteen. Better the poor whose walk
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse. Desire
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: without knowledge is not good. How much more will hasty
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: feet miss the way a person's own folly leads to
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: their ruin. Yet their heart rages against the lord. Wealth
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: attracts many friends, but even the closest friend of the
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: poor person deserts them. A false witness will not go unpunished,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: and whoever pours out lies will not go free. Many
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: carry favor with the ruler, and everyone is the friend
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: of one who gives gifts. The poor are shunned by
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: all their relatives. How much more do their friends avoid them.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Though the poor pursue them with pleading, they are nowhere
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: to be found. The one who gets wisdom loves life.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: The one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper. A false
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: will perish. It is not fitting for a fool to
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: live in luxury, how much worse for a slave to
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: rule over princes. A person's wisdom yields patience. It is
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: to one's glory to overlook an offense. A king's rage
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: is like the roar of a lion, but his favor
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: is like dew on the grass. A foolish child is
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: a father's ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like the
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: constant dripping of a leaky roof. Houses in wealth are
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless go hungry.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Whoever keeps commandments keep their life, but whoever shows contempt
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: for their ways will die. Whoever is kind to the
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: for what they have done. Discipline your children, for in
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: that there is hope. Do not be a willing party
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: to their death. A hot tempered person must pay the penalty.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: Rescue them, and you will have to do it again.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: you will be counted among the wise. Many are the
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: plans in a person's heart, But it is the Lord's
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: purpose that prevails. What a person desires is unfailing love.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: Better to be poor than a liar. The fear of
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: the lord leads to life. Then one rests content, untouched
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: by trouble. A slow buries his hand in the dish,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: he will not even bring it back to his mouth.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence. Rebuke
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: the discerning, and they will gain knowledge. Whoever robs their
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: father and drives out their mother is a child who
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: brings shame and disgrace. Stop listening to instruction, my son,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: and you will stray from the words of knowledge. A
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: corrupt witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: wicked gulps down. Evil penalties are prepared for mockers, and
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: beatings for the backs of fools. Proverbs, Chapter twenty. Wine
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: is a mocker, and beer a browler. Whoever is led
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: astray by them is not wins. A king's wrath strikes
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: terror like the roar of a lion. Those who anger
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: him forfeit their lives. It is to one's honor to
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel. Sluggards
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: do not plow in season, so at harvest time they
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: look but find nothing. The purposes of a person's heart
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Many claim to have unfailing love, But a faithful person
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: who can find the righteous lead blameless lives. Blessed are
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: their children after them. When a king sits on his
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: throne to judge, he winnows out all evil with his eyes.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: Who can say, I have kept my heart pure, I
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: am clean and without sin? Differing weights, in differing measures,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: the Lord detests them both. Even small children are known
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: by their actions. So is their conduct really pure?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: And upright?
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: Ears that hear and eyes that see, the Lord has
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: made them both. Do not love sleep, or you will
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: grow poor. Stay awake, and you won't have food to spare.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: It's no good. It's no good, says the buyer. Then
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: goes off and boasts about the purchase. Gold there is
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: and rubies in abundance, But lips that speak knowledge are
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: a rare jewel. Take the garment of one who puts
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: up security for a stranger, hold it in pledge if
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: it is done for an outsider. Food gained by fraud
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: tastes sweet, but one ends up with a mouthful of gravel.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: Plans are established by seeking advice, so if you wage war,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: obtain guidance. A gossip betrays a confidence, so avoid anyone
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: who talks too much. If someone curses their father or mother,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness. An
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: inheritance claimed too soon will not be blessed at the end.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: Do not say I'll pay you back.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: For this wrong.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Wait for the Lord, and he will avenge you. The
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: A person's steps are directed by the Lord. How then
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: can anyone understand their own way. It is a trap
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider one's vows.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: A wise king winnows out the wicked he drives the
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: threshing wheel over them. The human spirit is the lamp
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: of the Lord that sheds light on one's inmost being.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: Love and faithfulness keep a king safe. Through love, his
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: throne is made secure. The glory of young men is
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: their strength, gray hair. The splendor of the old. Blows
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: and wounds scrub away evil and beatings purge the inmost being.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: Proverbs twenty one in the Lord's hand. The king's heart
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: is a stream of water that he channels toward all
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: who please him. A person may think their own ways
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: are right, but the Lord weighs the heart. To do
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: what is right and just is more acceptable to the
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: Lord than sacrifice. Haughty eyes and a proud heart. The
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: unplowed field of the wicked produce sin. The plans of
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: to poverty. A fortune made by a lying tongue is
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare. The violence of
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: the wicked will drag them away, for they refuse.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: To do is right.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: of the innocent is upright. Better to live on a
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: corner of the roof than share a house with a
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: quarrelsome wife. The wicked crave evil, their neighbors get no
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: mercy from them. When a mocker is punished, the simple
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: gain wisdom. By paying attention to the wise, they get knowledge.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: The righteous one takes note of the house of the
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: wicked and brings the wicked to ruin. Whoever shuts their
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: ears to the cry of the poor will also cry
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: out and not be answered. A gift given in secret
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: soothes anger, and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: great wrath. When justice is done, it brings joy to
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: the righteous, but terror to evil doers. Whoever strays from
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: the path of prudence comes to rest in the company
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: of the dead. Whoever loves pleasure will become poor. Whoever
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: loves wine and olive oil will never be rich. The
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: wicked become a ransom for the righteous and the unfaithful.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: For the upright. Better to live in a desert than
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: with a quarrelsome and nagging wife. The wise store up
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity, and honor.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: One who is wise can go up against the city
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: of the mighty and pull down the stronghold in which
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: they trust. Those who guard their mouths and their tongues
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: keep themselves from calamity. The proud and arrogant person mocker
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: is his name, behaves with insolent fury. The craving of
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: a sluggard will be the death of him, because his
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: hands refuse to work all day long. He craves more,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: but the righteous give without sparing. The sacrifice of the
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: wicked is detestable, how much more so when brought with
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: evil intent. A false witness will perish, but a careful
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: listener will testify successfully. The wicked put up a bold front,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: but the upright give thought to their ways. There is
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: the Lord. The horse is made ready for the day
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: of battle, but victory rests with the Lord. Proverbs, chapter
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: twenty two. A good name is more desirable than great riches.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: To be esteemed is better than silver or gold. Rich
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: and poor have this in common. The Lord is the
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: maker of them all. The prudence see danger and take refuge,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. Humility
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: is the fear of the Lord. Its wages are riches
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: and honor and life. And the paths of the wicked
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: are snares and pitfalls. But those who would preserve their
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: life stay far from them. Start children off on the
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: way they should go, and even when they are old,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: they will not turn from it. The rich rule over
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: the poor, and the borrower is slave to the linder.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity, and the rod they wield
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: and fury will be broken. The generous will themselves to
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: Drive out the mocker, and outgo shrife. Quarrels and insults
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: are ended. One who loves a pure heart and who
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: speaks with grace will have the king for a friend.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: The eyes of the Lord.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: Keep watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: the unfaithful. The sluggard says, there's a lion outside. I'll
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: be killed in the public square. The mouth of an
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: adulterous woman is a deep pit. A man who is
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: under the Lord's wrath falls into it. Folly is bound
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: up in the heart of a child, but the rod
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: of discipline will drive it far away. One who oppresses
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: the poor to increase his wealth, and one who gives
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: gifts to the rich both come to poverty. Pay attention
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: Apply your heart to what I teach, For it is
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: pleasing when you keep them in your heart, and have
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: all of them ready on your lips, so that your
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: trust may be in the Lord. I teach you today,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: even you have I not written sayings for you, sayings
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: of counsel and knowledge, teaching you to be honest and
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: to speak the truth, so that you bring back truthful
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: reports to those you serve. Do not exploit the poor
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: because they are poor, and do not crush the needy
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: in court, for the lord will take up their case
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: and will exact life for life. Do not make friends
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: with the hot tempered person. Do not associate with one
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: easily angered, or you may learn their ways and get
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: yourself ensnared. Do not be one who shakes hands in
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: pledge or puts up security for debts. If you lack
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: from under you. Do not move an ancient boundary stone
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: set up by your ancestors. Do you see someone skilled
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: in their work, they will serve before kings. They will
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: not serve before officials of low rank. Proverbs, chapter twenty three.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: what is before you, and put a knife to your throat.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: If you are given to gluttony, do not crave his delicacies,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: for that food is deceptive. Do not wear yourself out
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: to get rich. Do not trust your own cleverness.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: Cast. But a glance at.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: Riches and they are gone, for they will surely sprout
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Do not eat the food of a begrudging host. Do
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: not crave his delicacies, for he is the kind of
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: person who is always thinking about the cost. Eat and drink,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: You will vomit up the little you have eaten, and
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: will have wasted your compliments. Do not speak to fools,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: for they will scorn your prudent words. Do not move
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: an ancient boundary stone, or encroach on the fields of
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: the fatherless, for their defender is strong. You will take
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: up their case against you. Apply your heart to instruction
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: and your ears to words of knowledge. Do not withhold
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: discipline from a child. If you punish them with the rod,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: they will not die. Punish them with the rod and
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: save them from death. My son, if your heart is wise,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: then my heart will be glad. Indeed, my inmost being
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: will rejoice when your lips speak what is right. Do
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: for the fear of the Lord. There is surely a
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: future hope for you and your hope will not be
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: cut off. Listen, my son, and be wise, and set
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: your heart on the right path. Do not join those
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: For drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: in rags. Listen to your father, who gave you life.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: And do not despise your mother when she is old
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: by the truth, and do not sell it wisdom, instruction,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: and insight as well. The father of a righteous child
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: has great joy. A man who fathers a wise son
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: rejoices in him. May your father and mother rejoice. May
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: she who gave you birth be joyful, my son, give
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: me your heart, and let your eyes delight in my ways.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: For an adulterous woman is a deep pit, and a
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: wayward wife is a narrow well, like a bandage. She
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: lies in wait and multiplies the unfaithful among men.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: Who has woe, who.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: Has sorrow, who has strife, who has complaints, who has
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: needless bruises, who has bloodshot eyes? Those who linger over wine,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: who go to sample bowls of mixed wine. Do not
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: in the cup when it goes down smoothly. In the end,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: Your eyes will see strange sights, and your mind will
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: imagine confusing things.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: You will be like.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: One sleeping on the high seas, lying on top.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: Of the rigging. They hit me, you will say.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: But I'm not hurt. They beat me, but I don't
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: feel it. When will I wake up so I can
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: find another drink? Proverbs chapter twenty four. Do not envy
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: the wicked, do not desire their company, where their hearts
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: plot violence, and their lips talk about making trouble.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: By wisdom.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: A house is built, and through understanding it is established.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: Through knowledge, its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: The wise prevail through great power, and those who have
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: knowledge muster their strength. Surely you need guidance to wage war,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: and victory is won through many advisers. Wisdom is too
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: high for fools. In the assembly at the gate. They
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: must not open their mouths. Whoever plots evil will be
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: known as a schemer. The schemes of folly are sin,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: and people detest a mocker. If you falter in a
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: time of trouble, how small is your strength. Rescue those
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: being led away to death. Hold back those staggering towards slaughter.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: If you say, but we knew nothing about this, does
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: not he who weighs the heart perceive it. Does not
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: he who guards your life know it? Will he not
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: repay everyone according to what they have done. Eat honey,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: my son, for it is good. Honey from the comb
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: is sweet to your taste. Know also that wisdom is
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: like honey for you. If you find it, there is
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: a future hope for you, and your hope will not
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: be cut off. Do not lurk like a thief near
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: the house of the righteous. Do not plunder their dwelling place.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: But the wicked stumble when calamity strikes. Do not gloat
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: when your enemy falls. When they stumble, Do not let
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: and turn his wrath away from them. Do not fret
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: because of evil doers, or be envious of the wicked,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: for the evil doer has no future hope, and the
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out. Fear the
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: Lord and the King, my son, and do not join
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: with rebellious officials, for those two will send sudden destruction
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: on them, and who knows what calamities they can bring.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: in judging is not good. Whoever says to the guilty
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: you are innocent, will be cursed by peoples and denounced
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: by nations. But it will go well with those who
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: Put your outdoor work in order, and get your fields ready.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: After that, build your house. Do not testify against your
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: neighbor without cause. Would you use your lips to mislead?
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: Say I'll do to them as they have done to me.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: I'll pay them back for what they did. I went
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: someone who has no sense. Thorns had come up everywhere,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: was in ruins. I applied my heart to what I
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: observed and learned a lesson from.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: What I saw.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: the hands to rest, and poverty will come on you
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. These
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: are more proverbs of Solomon, compiled by the men of Hezekiah,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: king of Judah. It is the glory of God to
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: conceal a matter. To search out a matter is the
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: glory of kings. As the heavens are high and the
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: Remove the dross from the silver, and a silversmith can
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: produce a vessel. Remove wicked officials from the king's presence,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: and his throne will be established through righteousness. Do not
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: exalt yourself in the king's presence, and do not claim
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: a place among his great men. It is better for
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: him to say to you, come up here, than for
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: him to humiliate you before his nobles what you have
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: seen with your eyes. Do not bring hastily to court,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: For what will you do in the end if your
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: neighbor puts you to shame. If you take your neighbor
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: to court, do not betray another's confidence, or the one
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: who hears it may shame you, and the charge against
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: you will stand like apples of gold and settings of silver.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: Is a ruling rightly given, like an earring of gold
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: or an ornament of fine gold is the rebuke of
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: a wise judge to a listening ear, Like a snow
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: cool drink at harvest time. Is a trustworthy messenger to
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: the one who sends him. He refreshes the spirit of
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: his master, Like clouds and wind without rain. Is one
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: who boasts of gifts never given through patience. A ruler
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: If you find honey, eat just enough, too much of it,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: and you will vomit. Seldom set foot in your neighbour's house.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: Too much of you, and they will hate you. Like
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: a club, or a sword or a sharp arrow, is
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: one who gives false testimony against a neighbor. Like a
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: broken tooth or a lame foot. Is reliance on the
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: unfaithful in a time of trouble, like one who takes
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: poured on a wound. Is one who sings songs to
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: a heavy heart. If your enemy is hungry, give him
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: to drink. In doing this you will heap burning coals
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: on his head, and the Lord will reward you. Like
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: a north wind, that brings unexpected rain is a sly
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: tongue which provokes a horrified look. Better to live on
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: a corner of the roof than share a house with
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: a quarrelsome wife. Like cold water to a weary soul,
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: is good news from a distant land, like a muddied
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: spring or a polluted well. Are the righteous who give
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: way to the wicked. It is not good to eat
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: too much honey, nor is it honorable to search out
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: matters that are too deep. Like a city whose walls
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: are broken through. Is a person who lacks self control
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter twenty six, like snow in summer or rain
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: and harvest. Honor is not fitting for a fool, like
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow. An undeserved curse
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: does not come to rest. A whip for the horse,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: backs of fools. Do not answer a fool according to
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: his folly, or you yourself will be just like him.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: Answer a fool according to his folly, or he.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: Will be wise in his own eyes.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: Sending a message by the hands of a fool is
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: like cutting off one's feet or drinking poison, Like the
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: useless legs of one who is lain, is.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: A proverb in the mouth of a fool.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: Like tying a stone in a sling is the giving
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: of honor to a fool. Like a thornbush in a
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: drunkard's hand is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: Like an archer who wounds at random is one who
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: hires a fool or any passer by.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: As a dog.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: Returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly. Do
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: you see a person wise in their own eyes? There
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: is more hope for a fool than for them. A
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: sluggard says, there's a lion in the road, a fierce
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: lion roaming the streets. As a door turns on its hinges,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: so a sluggard turns on its bed. A sluggard buries
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: his hand in the dish, he is too lazy to
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: bring it back to his mouth. A sluggard is wiser
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: in his own eyes than seven people who answered discreetly.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: Is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: Like a maniac shooting flaming arrows of death is one
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: who deceives their neighbor and says, I was only joking.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: Without wood, a fire goes out without a gossip. A
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: quarrel dies down as charcoal to embers, and as wood
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: to fire. So is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: The words of a gossip are like choice morsels. They
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: go down to the inmost parts, like a coating of
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: silver dross on earthenware. Are fervent lips with an evil heart.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: Enemies disguise themselves with their lips, but in their hearts
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: they harbor deceit. Though their speech is charming, do not
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: believe them, for seven abominations fill their hearts. Their malice
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: into it. If someone rolls a stone, it will roll
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: back on them. A lying tongue hates those it hurts,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: and a flattering mouth works Ruin Proverbs chapter twenty seven,
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: what a day may bring. Let someone else praise you,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: and not your own mouth, an outsider, and not your
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: own lips. Stone is heavy and sand a burden, But
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: a fool's provocation is heavier than both. Anger is cruel
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: and fury overwhelming. But who can stand before jealousy? Better
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. One who
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: is full loathes honey from the comb, But to the hungry,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: even what is bitter tastes sweet. Like a bird that
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: flees its nest. Is anyone who flees from home perfume
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: and instance bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice, do not
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: forsake your friend or a friend of your family, and
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: do not go to your relative's house when disaster strikes you.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: Better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away. Be wise,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: my son, and bring joy to my heart. Then I
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: can answer anyone who treats me with contempt. The prudent
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: and pay the penalty. Take the garment of one who
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: puts up security for a stranger, hold it in pledge
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: if it is done for an outsider. If anyone loudly
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: blesses their neighbor early in the morning, it will be
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: taken as a curse. A quarrelsome wife is like the
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm. Restraining her
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: is like restraining the word wind, or grasping oil with
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: the hand. As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: and whoever protects their master will be honored. As water
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart. Death
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: and destruction are never satisfied, and neither are human eyes.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold. But
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: people are tested by their praise. Though you grind a
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: fool and a mortar, grinding them like grain with a pestle,
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: you will not remove their folly from them. Be sure
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: you know the condition of your flocks. Give careful attention
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: to your herds, for riches do not endure forever, and
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: a crown is not secure for all generations. When the
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: hay is removed and new growth appears, and the grass
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: from the hills is gathered in, the lambs will provide
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: you with clothing, and the goats with the price of
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: a field, you will have plenty of goat's milk to
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: feed your family, and to nourish your female servants. Proverbs,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: chapter twenty eight. The wicked flee though no one pursues,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: but the righteous are as bold as a lion. When
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, But a
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order. A ruler who
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: no crops. Those who forsake instruction praise the wicked, but
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: those who heed it resist them. Evildoers do not understand
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: what is right, but those who seek the Lord understand
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: it fully better. The poor whose walk is blameless than
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: the rich, whose ways are perverse. A discerning son heeds instruction,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father. Whoever increases
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: wealth by taking interest or a profit from the poor,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: If any one turns a deaf ear to my instruction,
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: even their prayers are detestable. Whoever leads the upright along
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: an evil path will fall into their own trap, but
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: the blameless will receive a good inheritance. The rich are
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: wise in their own eyes. One who is poor and
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: discerning sees how deluded they are. When the righteous triumph,
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: there is grat elation. But when the wicked rise to power,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: people go into hiding. Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: Blessed is the one who always trembles before God, but
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble. Like a roaring
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: lion or a charging bear, is a wicked ruler over
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: a helpless people. A tyrannical ruler practices extortion, but one
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: who hates ill gotten gain will enjoy a long rain.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: Any One tormented by the guilt of murder will seek
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: refuge in the grave. Let no one hold them back.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: The one whose walk is blameless is kept safe, but
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: the one whose ways are perverse will fall into the pit.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: Those who work their land will have abundant food, but
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: A faithful person will be richly blessed, but one eager
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: to get rich will not go unpunished. To show partiality
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: is not good, yet a person will do wrong for.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: A peace of bread.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: The stingy are eager to get rich and are unaware
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: that poverty awaits them. Whoever rebukes a person will in
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: the end gain favor rather than one who has a
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: flattering tongue. Whoever robs their father or mother and says
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: it's not wrong is partner to one who destroys.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: The greedies stir up.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: Conflict, but those who trust in the Lord will prosper.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: walk in wisdom are kept safe. Those who give to
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: eyes to them receive many curses. When the wicked rise
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: to power, people go into hiding. But when the wicked perish,
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: the righteous thrive. Proverbs twenty nine. Whoever remains stiff necked
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed without remedy. When
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: the righteous thrive, the people rejoice. When the wicked rule,
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: the people grown. A man who loves wisdom brings joy
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: By justice, a king gives a country stability, but those
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: who are greedy for bribes tear it down. Those who
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: flatter their neighbors are spreading nets for their feet. Evildoers
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: are snared by their own sin, but the righteous shout
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: for joy and are glad. The righteous care about justice
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: Mockers stir up a city, but the wise turn away anger.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: If a wise person goes to court with a fool,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: The blood thirsty hate a person of integrity and seek
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: to kill the upright. Fools give full vent to their rage,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: but the wise bring calm.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: In the end.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: The poor and the oppressor have this in common. The
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: lord gives sight to the eyes of both. If a
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will be
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: established forever. A ride and a reprimand impart wisdom. But
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother. When the wicked thrive,
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: so descent. But the righteous will see their downfall. Discipline
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: your children, and they will give you peace. They will
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: bring you the delights you desire.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 2: When there is no revelation, people cast off restraint. But
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: blessed is.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: The one who heeds Wisdom's instruction. Servants cannot be corrected
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: by mere words. Though they understand, they will not respond.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: Do you see someone who speaks in haste. There is
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: more hope for fool than for them. A servant pampered
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: from youth will turn out to be insolent. An angry
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: person stirs up conflict, and a hot tempered person commits
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: many sins. Pride brings a person low, but the lowlian
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: spirit gain honor. The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: They are put under oath and dare not testify. Fear
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: of man will prove to be a snare. But whoever
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: trusts in the Lord is kept safe. Many seek an
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: audience with the ruler. But it is from the Lord
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: that one gets justice. The righteous to test the dishonest,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: the wicked, to test the upright. Proverbs Chapter thirty, the
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: sayings of Agar, son of Jaquet, and inspired utterance this
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: man's utterance to Athel. I am weary God, but I
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: can prevail.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: Surely.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: I am only a brute, not a man. I do
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: not have human understanding. I have not learned wisdom, nor
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: who has gone up to heaven and come down, whose
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: hands have gathered up the wind, who has wrapped up
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: the waters in a cloak, who has established all the
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: ends of the earth. What is his name, and what
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: is the name of his son? Surely you know every
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: word of God is flawless. He is a shield to
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: those who take refuge in him. Do not add to
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: a liar. Two things I ask of you, Lord, Do
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: not refuse me before I die. Keep falsehood and lies
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches, but
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: give me only my daily bread. Otherwise I may have
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: too much and disown you and say who is the Lord?
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: Or I may become poor and steal and so dishonor
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: the name of my God. Do not slander a servant
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: to their master, or they will curse you, and you
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: will pay for it. There are those who curse their
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: fathers and do not bless their mothers. Those who are
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: pure in their own eyes, and yet are not cleansed
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: of their filth. Those whose eyes are ever so haughty,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: whose glances are so disdainful, those whose teeth are swords,
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: and whose jaws are set with knives to devour the
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: poor from the earth, and the needy from among mankind.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: The leech has two daughters, Give, give, they cry. There
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: are three things that are never satisfied, four that never
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: say the grave, the barren wound land, which is never satisfied.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: With water and.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: Fire which never says enough. The eye that mocks a father,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: that scorns an aged mother will be pecked out by
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: the ravens of the valley, will be eaten by the vultures.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: There are three things that are too amazing for me,
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: four that I do not understand. The way of an
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: And the way of a man with a young woman.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: This is the way of an adulterous woman. She eats
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: and wipes her mouth and says, I've done nothing wrong.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: Under three things, the earth trembles. Under four. It cannot
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: bear up a servant who becomes king, a godless fool
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: who gets plenty to eat, a contemptible woman who gets married,
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: and a servant who displaces her mistress. Four things on
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: earth are small, yet they are extremely wise. Ants are
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: creatures of little strength, yet they stor up their food
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: in the summer. High Raxes are creatures of little power,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: yet they make their home in the crags. Locusts have
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: no king. If they advance together in ranks. A lizard
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: can be caught with the hand, yet it is found
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: in king's palaces. There are three things that are stately
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: in their stride, four that move with stately bearing. A
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: lion mighty among beasts who retreats before nothing, a strutting rooster,
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: a he goat, and a king secure against revolt. If
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: you play the fool and exalt yourself, or if you
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: plan evil, clap your hand over your mouth. For as
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood,
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: so stirring up anger produce strife. Proverbs, chapter thirty one,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: the sayings of King Lemuel and inspired utterance. His mother
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: taught him, Listen, my son, listen, son of my wound, Listen,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: my son, the answer to my prayers. Do not spend
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: your strength on women, your vigor on those who ruin kings.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: It is not for kings, Lemuel. It is not for
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: lest they drink and forget what has been decreed, and
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: deprive all the oppressed of their rights. Let beer be
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: for those who are perishing, Wine for those who are
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: in anguish. Let them drink and forget their poverty and
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: remember their misery. No more, speak up for those who
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly, defend the rights
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: of the poor and needy. A wife of noble character
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: who can find she is worth far more than rubies.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: days of her life. She selects wool and flax and
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: works with eager hands. She is like the merchant ships
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: is still night. She provides food for her family and
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: portions for her female servants. She considers a field and
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: buys it out of her earnings. She plants a vineyard.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: She sets about her work vigorously. Her arms are strong
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable,
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: and her lamp does not go out at night. In
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: with her fingers. She opens her arms to the poor
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: and extends her hands to the needy.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: When it snows.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: She has no fear for her household, for all of
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: them are clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: She is clothed in fine linen and purple. Her husband
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: is respected at the city gate, where he takes his
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: seat among the elders of the land. She makes linen
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: She is clothed with strength and dignity. She can laugh
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: affairs of her household, and does not eat the bread
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed. Her
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: husband also, and he praises her. Many women do noble things,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: but you surpass them. All. Charm is deceptive, and beauty
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: is fleeting. A woman who fears the Lord is to
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done,
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
