  Speaker 1: The Book of Proverbs, Proverbs, Chapter one, the Proverbs of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Solomon's son of David, King of Israel. For gaining wisdom
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and instruction, for understanding words of insight, for receiving instruction
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: To the young.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: let the discerning get guidance. For understanding proverbs and parables,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the sayings and riddles of the wise. The fear of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: wisdom and instruction. Listen, my son, to your father's instruction,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and do not forsake your mother's teaching. They are a
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: garland to grace your head, and chain to adorn your neck.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: in to them. If they say, come along with us,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: let's lie in wait for innocent blood. Let's ambush some
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: harmless soul. Let's swallow them alive, like the gray and.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Whole, like those who go down to the pit.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We will get all sorts of valuable things and fill
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: our houses with plunder cast lots. With us we will
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: all share the loot, my son, Do not go along
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: with them. Do not set foot on their paths, for
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: their feet rush into evil. They are swift to shed blood,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: how useless to spread a net where every bird can
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: see it. These men lie in wait for their own blood.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: They ambush only themselves. Such are the paths of all
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: who go after ill gotten gain. It takes away the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: life of those who get it out in the open.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Wisdom calls aloud. She raises her voice in the public square,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: on the top of the wall. She cries out at
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the city gate, she makes her speech, How long will
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you who are simple love your simple ways? How long
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: will mockers delight in mockery, and fools hate knowledge? Repent
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: at my rebuke? Then I will pour out my thoughts
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to you, and I will make known to you my teachings.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: But since you refuse to listen when I call, and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: since you disregard.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: All my advice and do not accept.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: My rebuke, I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I will mock when calamity overtakes you. When calamity overtakes
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you like a storm. When disaster sweeps over you, life
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: make a whirlwind when distress and trouble overwhelm you. Then
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: they will call to me, but I will not answer.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: They will look for me, but will not find me.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the Lord, since they would not accept my advice and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: spurned my rebuke. They will eat the fruit of their
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the complacency of fools will destroy them. But whoever listens
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to me will live in safety and be at ease,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: without fear of harm. Proverbs chapter two. My son, if
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding. Indeed,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and if you look for it is for silver, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: search for it is for hidden treasure, then you will
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: of God. For the Lord gives wisdom from his mouth
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the upright. He is a shield to those whose way
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of life is blameless, for he guards the course of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Then you will understand what is right and just and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: fair every good path, For wisdom will enter your heart,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: protect you, and understanding.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Will guard you.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Wisdom will save you from them ways of wicked men,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: for men whose words are perverse, who have left the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the wayward woman with her seductive words, who has left
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: made before God. Surely her house leads down to death,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and her paths to the spirits of the dead. None
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: who go to her return or attain the paths of life.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Thus you will walk in the ways of the good
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and keep to the paths of the righteous. For the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: upright will live in the land, and the blameless will
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: remain in it. But the wicked will be cut off
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter three, My son, do not forget my teaching,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: but keep my commands in your heart, for they will
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Let love and faithfulness never leave you. Bind them round
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: your neck, Write them on the tablet.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Of your heart.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Then you will win favor and a good name in
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: with all your heart, and lean not on your own
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: understanding in all your ways. Submit to him, and he
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: will make your path straight. Do not be wise in
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: your own eyes. Fear the Lord and shun evil. This
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: will bring health to your body and nourishment to your both.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of all your crops. Then your barns will be filled
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline, and do
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: not resent his rebuke. Because the Lord disciplines those he
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: loves as a father. The son he delights in. Blessed
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: those who find wisdom those who gain understanding, for she
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: She is more.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Precious than rubis nothing you desire can compare with her.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Long life is in her right hand. In her left
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and all her paths are peace. She is a tree
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of life. To those who take hold of her. Those
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: who hold a fast will be blessed by wisdom. The
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Lord laid the earth's foundations by understanding. He set the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: heavens in place. By his knowledge, the watery depths were divided,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and the clouds let drop the dew. My son, do
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight. Preserve sound,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: judgment and discretion. They will be life for you, an
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: When you lie down, you will not be afraid. When
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and will keep your foot from being snared. Do not
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: withhold good from those to whom it is due. When
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: it is in your power to act, do not say
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to your neighbor, come back to morrow, and I'll give
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: it to you when you already have it with you.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Do not plant harm against your neighbor who lives trustfully
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: near you. Do not accuse any one for no reason,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: when they have done you no harm. Do not envy
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the violent or choose any of their ways. For the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Lord detests the perverse, but takes the upright into his confidence.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: but he blesses the home of the righteous. He mocks
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: proud mockers, but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame. Proverbs
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: chapter four. Listen, my sons to a father's instruction. Pay
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: attention and gain understanding.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I give you.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Sound learning, So do not forsake my teaching, For I
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: too was a son to my father, still tender and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: cherished by my mother. Then he taught me, and he
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: said to me, take hold of my words with all
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: your heart. Keep my commands, and you will live. Get wisdom,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: get understanding.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Do not forget my.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and she will protect you. Love her, and she will
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: watch over you. The beginning of wisdom.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Is this.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Get wisdom, though it cost all you have. Get understanding.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Cherish her and she will exalt you. Embrace her and
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: she will honor you. She will give you a garland
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown. Listen,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: my son, accept what I say, and the years of
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: your life will be many. I instruct you in the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: way of wisdom, and lead you along straight paths. When
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you walk, your steps will not be hampered. When you run,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction, Do not
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: let it go, Guard it well, for it is your life.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Do not set foot on the path of the wicked,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: or walk in the way of evil. Doers avoid it,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: do not travel on it. Turn from it and go
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: on your way. For they cannot rest until they do evil.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: They are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: They eat the bread of wickedness and drink.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: The wine of violence.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: The path of the righteous is like the morning sun,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: shining ever brighter till the full light of day. But
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the way of the wicked is like deep darkness. They
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: do not know what makes them stumble. My son, pay
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: attention to what I say. Turn your ear to my words.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Do not let them out of your sight. Keep them
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: within your heart, for they are life to those who
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: find them, and health to one's whole body. Above all else,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Keep your mouth free of perversity. Keep corrupt talk far
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: paths for your feet, and be steadfast in all your ways.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Do not turn to the right or the left.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Keep your foot from evil. Proverbs chapter five. My son,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: words of insight, that you may maintain discretion, and your
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: lips may preserve knowledge. For the lips of the adulterous
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: But in the end she is bitter as gall sharp
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: as a double edged sword. Her feet go down to death,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: her steps lead straight to the grave. She gives no
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: thought to the way of life. Her paths wander aimlessly,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: but she does not know it. Now, then, my sons,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: listen to me. Do not turn aside from what I say.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Keep to a path far from her, Do not go
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: near the door of her house. Lest you lose your
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: honor to others and your dignity to one who is cruel.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Lest strangers feast on your wealth and your toil enrich
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the house of another. At the end of your life,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you will groan when your flesh and body are spent.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: You will say, how I hated discipline, how my heart
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: spurned correction. I would not obey my teachers or turn
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: my ear to my instructors, and I was soon in
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: serious trouble in the assembly of God's people. Drink water
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: from your own cistern, running water from your own well.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: water in the public squares, let them be yours alone,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: never to be shared with strangers. May your fountain be blessed.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And may you rejoice in the wife of your youth,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: a loving doe, a graceful dear. May her breasts satisfy
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you always. May you ever be intoxicated.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: With her love.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Why my son be intoxicated with another man's wife, Why
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: embrace the bosom of a wayward woman. For your ways
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: are in full view of the Lord, and he examines
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: all your paths. The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: them the cords of their sins hold them fast. For
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: lack of discipline, they will die led astray by their
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: own great folly. Proverbs chapter six. My son, if you
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: have put up security for your neighbor, if you have
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: shaken hands in pledge for a stranger, you have been
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: your mouth. So do this, my son, to free yourself,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands. Go to
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the point of exhaustion and give your neighbor no rest.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Free yourself like a gazelle.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: From the hand of the hunter, like a bird from
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the snare of the fowler. Go to the ant, you, sluggard,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Consider its ways and be wise. It has no commander,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: no overseer or ruler. Yet it stores its provisions in
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you lie there, you sluggard, When will you get up
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: come on you like a thief, and scarcity like an
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: armed man. A troublemaker, and a villain who goes about
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: with a corrupt mouth, who winks maliciously with his eye,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: signals with his feet, and motions with his fingers, who
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: plots evil with deceit in his heart. He always stirs
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: up conflict. Therefore disaster will overtake.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Him in an instant.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: He will suddenly be destroyed without remedy. There are six
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: things the Lord hates. Seven that are detestable to him.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: My son, keep your father's command and do not forsake
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: your mother's teaching. Bind them always on your heart, Fasten
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: them round your neck when you walk. They will guide
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you when you sleep, they will watch over you. When
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you awake, they will speak to you. For this command
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and instruction are the way to life. Keeping you from
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: your neighbour's wife, from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Do not lust in your heart after her beauty, or
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: let her captivate you with her eyes. For a prostitute
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: can be had for a loaf of bread, but another
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: man's wife preys.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: On your very life.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: clothes being burned? Can a man walk on hot coals
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: without his feet being scorched?
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: So is he who sleeps with another man's wife. No
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: one who touches her will go unpunished.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: People do not despise a thief if he steals to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: satisfy his hunger when he is starving. Yet if he
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: all the wealth of his house. But a man who
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: commits adultery has no sense. Whoever does so, destroys himself,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: blows and disgrace at his lot, and his shame will
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: never be wiped away. For jealousy arouses a husband's fury,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: He will not accept any compensation. He will refuse a bribe,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: however great it is. Proverbs chapter seven, My son, keep
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: my words and store up my commands within You keep
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: my commands, and you will live guard my teachings as
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: wisdom you are my sister, and to insight you are
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: my relative. They will keep you from the adulterous woman,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: from the wayward woman with her seductive words. At the
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: window of my house, I looked down through the lattice,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I saw among the simple. I noticed among the young
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: men a youth who had no sense. He was going
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: down the street near her corner, walking along in the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: direction of her house at twilight, as the day was fading,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: as the dark of night set in. Then out came
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a woman to meet him. Dressed like a prostitute and
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: with crafty intent. She is unruly and defiant. Her feet
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: never stay at home. Now in the street, now in
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the squares. At every corner she lurks. She took hold
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: of him and kissed him, and with a brazen face,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: she said, to day, I fulfilled my vows, and I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: have food from my fellowship offering at home. So I
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: came out to meet you. I looked for you and
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: have found. I have covered my bed with colored linens
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: from Egypt. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh aloes
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and cinnamon. Come, let's drink deeply of love till morning.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Let's enjoy ourselves with love. My husband is not at home.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: He has gone on a long journey. He took his
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: purse filled with money, and will not be home till
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: full moon. With persuasive words, she led him astray. She
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: seduced him with her smooth talk.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: All at once.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: He followed her like an ox going to the slaughter,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: like a deer stepping into a noose, till an arrow
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: little knowing it will cost him his life. Now, then,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: my sons, listen to me. Pay attention to what I say.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Do not let your heart turn to her ways or
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: stray into her palms. Many of the victims she has
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: brought down her slain are a mighty throng. Her house
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: is a highway to the grave, leading down to the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: chambers of death. Proverbs chapter eight. Does not wisdom, call out,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: does not understanding.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Raise her voice.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: she takes her stand beside the gate leading into the city.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: At the entrance, she cries aloud to you, O people,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I call out. I raise my voice to all humanity.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: You who are simple, gain prudence, You who are foolish,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: set your hearts on it. Listen, for I have trustworthy
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: things to say. I open my lips to speak what
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: is right. My mouth speaks what is true. For my
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: lips detest wickedness. All the words of my mouth are just.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: None of them is crooked or perverse to the discerning.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: All of them are right. They are upright. To those
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: who have found knowledge, choose my instruction instead of silver,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is more precious
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: than rubis, and nothing you desire can compare with her.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I wisdom dwell together with prudence. I possess knowledge and discretion.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: To fear the Lord is to hate evil. I hate
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech. Counsel and
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: sound judgment are mine. I have insight. I have power
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: by me. King's reign and rulers issue decrees that are
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: just by me. Princes govern and nobles all who rule
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: on earth. I love those who love me, and those
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: who seek me find me. With me are riches and honor, enduring, wealth,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: and prosperity. My fruit is better than fine gold. What
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I yield surpasses choice silver. I walk in the way
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: of righteousness, along the paths of justice, bestowing a rich
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: inheritance on those who love me and making their treasuries full.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: before his.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Deeds of old.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: when the world came to be, when there were no
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: watery depths. I was given birth when there were no
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: springs overflowing with water, before the mountains were settled in place,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: before the hills. I was given birth before he made
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the world or its fields, or any of the dust
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: of the earth. I was there when he set the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the face of the deep, when he established the clouds
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep, when
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: he gave the sea its boundary so that the waters
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: would not overstep his command, and when he marked out
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the foundations of the earth. Then I was constantly at
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: his sign. I was filled with delight day after day,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: rejoicing always in his presence, rejoicing in his whole world,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: and delighting in the human race. Now, then, my children
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: listen to me. Blessed are those who keep my ways.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Listen to my instruction and be wise, do not disregard it.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: my doors, waiting at my doorway.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: For those who.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Find me find life and receive favor from the Lord.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: But those who fail.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: To find me harm themselves. All who hate me love death.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter nine. Wisdom has built her house, She has
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: set up its seven pillars. She has prepared her meat
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: and makes her wine. She has also set her table.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: She has sent out her servants, and she calls from
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: the highest point of the city. Let all who are
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: simple come to my house. To those who have no sense,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: she says, come, eat my food and drink the wine
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I've mixed. Leave your simple ways and you will live.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Walk in the way of insight. Whoever corrects a mocker
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: invites insults. Who whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse. Do
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: not rebuke mockers, or they will hate you. Rebuke the wise,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and they will love you. Instruct the wise and they
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: will be wiser. Still, Teach the righteous, and they will
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: add to their learning. The fear of the Lord is
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Holy One
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: is understanding. For through wisdom your days will be many,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and years will be added to your life. If you
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: are wise, your wisdom will reward you. If you are
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a mocker, you alone will suffer. Folly is an unruly woman.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: She is simple and knows nothing. She sits at the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: door of her house, on a seat at the highest
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: point of the city, calling out to those who pass by,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: who go straight on their way, Let all who are
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: simple come to my house. To those who have no sense,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: she says, stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: is delicious. But little do they know that the dead
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: are there, that her guests are deep in the realm
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: of the dead. Proverbs, chapter ten, The Proverbs of Solomon.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: foolish son brings grief to his mother. Ill Gotten treasures
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: but diligent hands bring wealth. He who gathers crops in
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: harvest is a disgraceful son. Blessings crown the head of
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: The name of the righteous is used in blessings, but
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the name of the wicked will rot. The wise in
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: heart accept commands that a chattering fool comes to ruin.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: paths will be found out. Whoever winks maliciously causes grief,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: and a chattering fool comes to ruin. The mouth of
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: of the wicked conceals violence. Hatred stirs up conflict, but
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: love covers over all wrongs. Wisdom is found on the
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: lips of the discerning, but a god is for the
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: back of one who has no sense. The wise store
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: The wealth of the rich is their fortified city, but
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: poverty is the ruin of the poor. The wages of
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: are sin and death. Whoever heeds discipline shows the way
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. Whoever
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: conceals hatred with lying lips and spread slander is a fool.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: hold their tongues. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: for lack of sense. The blessing of the Lord brings well,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: without painful toil for it. A fool finds pleasure in
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: wicked schemes that a person of understanding delights in wisdom.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: What the wicked dread will overtake them. What the righteous
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: desire will be granted. When the storm has swept by,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: so are sluggards to those who send them. The fear
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: of the Lord adds length to life, but the years
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: of the wicked are cut short. The prospect of the
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: righteous his joy that the hopes of the wicked come
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: to nothing. The way of the Lord is a refuge
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: for the blameless, but it is the ruin of those
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: who do evil. The righteous will never be uprooted, but
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the wicked will not remain in the land. From the
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: mouth of the righteous comes the fruit of wisdom, but
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: a perverse.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Tongue will be silenced.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: The lips of the righteous know what finds favor, but
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse. Proverbs
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: chapter eleven. The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: find favour with him. When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: But with humility comes wisdom. The integrity of the upright
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: delivers from death. The righteousness of the blameless makes their
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: paths straight, but the wicked are brought down by their
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: own wickedness. Riaceciousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: entrapped by evil desires, hopes placed in mortals, die with them.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: All The promise of their power comes to nothing. The
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: righteous person is rescued from trouble, and it falls on
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: the wicked instead. With their mouths, the godless destroy their neighbours,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: but through knowledge, the righteous escape. When the righteous prosper,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there are shouts
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: of joy. Through the blessing of the upright, a city
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: is destroyed. Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense, but
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the one who has understanding holds their tongue. A gossip
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: For lack of guidance, a nation falls, but victory is
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: one through many advisers. Whoever puts up security for a
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: stranger will surely suffer, but whoever refuses to shake hands
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: in pledge is safe. A kind hearted woman gains honor,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: but ruthless men gain only wealth. Those who are kind
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: benefit themselves, but the cruel bring ruin on themselves. A
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: wicked person earns deceptive wages, but the one who sows
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: righteousness reaps a sure reward. Truly, the righteous attain life,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: but whoever pursues evil finds death. The Lord detests those
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: ways are blameless. Be sure of this. The wicked will
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: not go unpunished, but those.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Who are the righteous will go free.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Like a gold ring in a pig snout is a
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: beautiful woman who shows no discretion. The desire of the
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: righteous ends only in good, but the hope of the
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: wicked only in wrath. One person gives freely, yet gains
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: even more. Another withholds unduly but comes to poverty. A
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: generous person will prosper. Whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: People curse the one who haudes grain, but they pray
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: God's blessing on the one who is willing to sell.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Who searches for it.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: righteous will thrive like a green leaf. Whoever brings ruin
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: on their family will inherit only wind, and the fool
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: will be servant to the wise.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: The fruit of the righteous.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Is a tree of life, and the one who is
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: wise saves lives. If the righteous receive their due on earth,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: how much more the ungodly and the sinner Proverbs chapter twelve.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Good people obtain favor from the Lord, but he condemns
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: those who devise wicked schemes. No one can be established
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted. A wife
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: wife is like decay in his bones.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: The plans of.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: The righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: is deceitful. The words of the wicked lie in wait
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: house of the righteous stands firm. A person is praised
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: according to their prudence, and one with a warped mind
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: is despised. Better to be a nobody and yet have
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel. Those who
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: work their land will have abundant food, but those who
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: chase phantasies have no sense. The wicked desire the stronghold
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: of evildoers, but the root of the righteous endures. Evil
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: doers are trapped by their sinful talk, and so the
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: innocent escape trouble from the fruit of their lips. People
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: are filled with good things and the work of their
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: hands bring them reward. The way of fools seems right
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: to them, but the wise listen to advice. Fools show
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook and insult.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: An honest witness tells the truth, but a false witness
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: tells lies. The words of the reckless pierce like swords,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truthful lips
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: but those who promote peace have joy. No harm overtakes
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: who are trustworthy. The prudent keep their knowledge to themselves,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: but a fool's heart blurts out folly. Diligent hands will rule,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: but laziness ends in forced labor. Anxiety weighs down the heart,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: but a kind word cheers it up. The righteous choose
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: them astray. The lazy do not roast any game, but
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt. In
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: the way of righteousness, there is life. Along that path
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: is immortality. Proverbs chapter thirteen. A wise son heeds his
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: father's instruction, but a mocker does not respond to rebukes.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: From the fruit of their lips. People enjoy good things,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence. Those who
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: rashly will come to ruin. A sluggard's appetite is never filled,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. The
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: righteous hate what is false, but the wicked make themselves
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: obnoxious and bring shame on themselves. Righteousness guards the person
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. One person pretends
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: to be rich yet has nothing. Another pretends to be poor,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: yet has great wealth. The person's riches may ransom their life,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes. The light
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: wicked is snuffed out. Where there is strife, there is pride,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: but wisdom is found in those who take advice. Dishonest
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: makes it grow. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Whoever scorns
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: instruction will pay for it, but whoever respects a command
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: is rewarded. The teaching of the wise is a fountain
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: of life, turning a person from the snares of death.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Good judgment wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: leads to their destruction. All who are prudent act with knowledge,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: but fools expose their folly. A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: but a trustworthy envoy brings healing. Whoever disregards discipline comes
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: detest turning from evil. Walk with the wise and become wise.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: For a companion of fools suffers harm. Trouble pursues the sinner,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: but the righteous are rewarded with good things. A good
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: person leaves an inheritance for their children's children, but a
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous. An unplowed
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: field produces food for the poor, but injustice sweeps it away.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: who loves their children is careful to discipline them. The
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: righteous eat to their heart's content, but the stomach of
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the wicked goes hungry. Proverbs chapter fourteen. The wise woman
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: builds her house, but with her own hands, the foolish
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: one tears hers down. Whoever fears the Lord walks uprightly,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: but those who despise him are devious in their ways.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: A fool's mouth lashes out with pride, but the lips
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: of the wise protect them. Where there are no oxen,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: the mangeur is empty, but from the strength of an
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: ox come abundant harvests. An honest witness does not deceive,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: but a false witness pours out lies. The mocker seeks
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: wisdom and finds none, But knowledge comes easily to the discerning.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Stay away from a fool, for you will not find
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: knowledge on their lips. The wisdom of the prudent is
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: to give thought to their ways, but the folly of
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: fools is deception. Fools mock at making amends for sin,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: but goodwill is found among the upright. Each heart knows
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: The wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Upright will flourish.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: There is a way that appears to be right, but
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: in the end it leads to death. Even in laughter,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: the heart may ache, and rejoicing may end in grief.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways, and
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: the good rewarded for theirs. The simple believe anything, but
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: the prudent give thought to their steps. The wise fear
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: the lord and shun evil, but a fool is hot
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: headed and yet feels secure. A quick tempered person does
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: foolish things, and the one who devises evil schemes is hated.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Evildoers will bow down in the presence of the good,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: and the wicked at the gates of the writer. The
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: poor are shunned even by their neighbors, but the rich
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: have many friends. It is a sin to despise one's neighbor,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Do not those who plot evil go astray, but those
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: who plan what is good find love and faithfulness. All
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: hard work brings a prophet, but mere talk leads only
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: to poverty. The wealth of the wise is their crown,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: but the folly of fools yields folly. A truthful witness
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: saves lives, but a false witness is deceitful. Whoever fears
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: it will be a refuge. The fear of the Lord
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: is a fountain of life, turning a person from the
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: snares of death. A large population is a king's glows,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: but without subjects, a prince is ruined. Whoever is patient
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: has great understanding, but one who is quick tempered displays folly.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: A heart at peace gives life to the body, but
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: envy rots the bones. Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: for their maker. But whoever is kind to the needy
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: honors God. When calamity comes, the wicked abroad down. But
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: even in death, the righteous seek refuge in God. Wisdom
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: reposes in the heart of the discerning, and even among fools,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: she lets herself be known. Righteousness exalts a nation, but
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: sin condemns any people. A king delights in a wise servant,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: but a shameful servant arouses his fury. Proverbs chapter fifteen,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: that the mouth of the fool gushes folly. The eyes
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: and the good. The soothing tongue is a tree of life,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. A fool spurns
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: a parent's discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. The
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: house of the righteous contains great treasure, but the income
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: of the wicked brings ruin.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: The lips of the.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Wise spread knowledge, but the hearts of fools are not upright.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: prayer of the upright pleases him. The Lord tests the
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue righteousness.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Stern discipline awaits anyone who leaves the path. The one
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: who hates correction will die. Death and destruction lie open
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: before the Lord. How much more do human hearts. Mockers
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: resent correction, so they avoid the wise. A happy heart
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit. The
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: feeds on folly. All the days of the oppressed are wretched,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: but the cheerful heart has a continual feast. Better a
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: little with the fear of the lord than great wealth
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: with turmoil, Better a dish of vegetables with love than
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: a fattened calf with hatred at but person stirs up conflict,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: but the one who is patient calms a quarrel. The
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: path of the upright is a highway. A wise son
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: brings joy to his father, but a foolish man despises
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: his mother. Folly brings joy to one who has no sense,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course. Plans fail
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: A person finds joy in giving an apt reply, And
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: how good is a timely word. The path of life
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: leads upward for the prudent, to keep them from going
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: down to the realm of the dead. The Lord tears
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: down the house of the proud, but he sets the
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: widow's boundary stones in place. The Lord detests the thought
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: of the wicked, but gracious words appear in his sight.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: The greedy bring ruin to their households, but the one
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: who hates bribes will live. The heart of the righteous
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushou
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: is evil.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: The Lord is far from the.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. Light
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: in a messenger's eyes brings joy to the heart, and
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: good news gives health to the bones. Whoever heeds life
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: giving correction will be at home among the wise. Those
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: who disregard discipline despise themselves.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: But the one who heeds.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Correction gains understanding. Wisdom's instruction is to fear the Lord,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: and humility comes before honor Proverbs chapter sixteen. To romans
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: belong the plans of the heart, But from the Lord
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: comes the proper answer of the tongue. All a person's
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: he will establish your plans. The Lord works out everything
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: to its proper end, even the wicked. For a day
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: of disaster, the Lord detests all. The proud of heart.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Be sure of this, They will not go unpunished. Through
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: love and faithfulness. Sin is atoned for through the fear
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: of the Lord. Evil is avoided. When the Lord takes
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: pleasure in anyone's way, he causes their enemies to make
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: peace with them. Better a little with righteousness than much
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: gain with injustice. In their hearts, humans plan their course,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: but the Lord establishes their steps. The lips of a
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: king speaks as an oracle, and his mouth does not
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: betray justice. Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: All the weights in the bag are of his making.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Kings detest wrongdoing, for a throne is established through righteousness.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Kings take pleasure in honest lips. They value the one
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: who speaks what is right. A king's wrath is a
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: messenger of death, but the wise will appease it. When
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: a king's face brightens, it means life. His favor is
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: like a rain cloud in spring. How much better to
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: The highway of the upright avoids evil. Those who guard
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: their ways preserve their lives. Pride goes before destruction, Oh,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be lowly in
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: spirit along with the oppressed than to share plunder.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: With the proud.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: one who trusts in the Lord. The wise in heart
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction. Prudence is
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: a fountain of life to the prudent, but folly brings
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: punishment to fools. The hearts of the wise make their
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction. Gracious words are
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: There is a way that appears to be right, but
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: in the end it leads to death. The appetite of
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: laborers works for them. Their hunger drives them on. A
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: scoundrel plots evil and on their lips. It is like
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: a scorching fire. A perverse person stirs up conflict, and
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: a gossip separates close friends. A violent person entices their
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: neighbor and leads them down a path that is not good.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity. Whoever purses
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: their lips is bent on evil. Gray hair is a
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: crown of splendor. It is attained in the way of righteousness.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Better a patient person than a warrior. One with self
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: control than one who takes a city. The lot is
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: cast into the lap, but its every decision is from
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Proverbs, chapter seventeen. Better a dry crust with
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: peace and quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: A prudent servant will rule over a disgraceful son, and
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: will share the inheritance as one of the family. The
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, But the
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Lord tests the heart. A wicked person listens to deceitful libs.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: A liar pays attention to a destructive tongue. Whoever mocks
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: the poor shows contempt for their maker. Whoever gloats over
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: disaster will not go unpunished. Children's children are a crown
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool, how much
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: worse lying lips to a ruler. A bribe is seen
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: as a charm by the one who gives it. They
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: think success will come at every turn. Whoever would foster
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: separates close friends. A rebuke impresses a discerning person more
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: than a hundred lashes. The fool evil doers foster rebellion
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: against God, The messenger of death will be sent against them.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: a fool bent on folly. Evil will never leave the
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: house of one who pays back evil for good.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: Starting a quarrel is like.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Breaching a dam. So drop the matter before a dispute
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: breaks out, acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent. The
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Lord detests them both. Why should fools have money in
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: hand to buy wisdom when they are not able.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: To understand it.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: A friend loves at all times, and a brother is
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: born for a time of adversity. One who has no
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: sense shakes hands in pledge and puts up security for
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: a neighbor. Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin. Whoever builds
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: a high gate invites destruction. One whose heart is corrupt
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: does not prosper. One whose tongue is perverse falls into trouble.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: To have a fool for a child brings grief. There
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: is no joy for the parent of a godless fool.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: dries up the bones. The wicked except bribes in secret
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: to pervert the course of justice. A discerning person keeps
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: wisdom in view, but a fool's eyes wander to the
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: ends of the earth. A foolish son brings grief to
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: his father, and bitterness to the.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Mother who bore him.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: If imposing a fine on the innocent is not good,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: surely to flog honest officials is not right. The one
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: understanding is even tempered. Even fools are thought wise if
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: they keep silent and discerning, if they hold their tongues
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter eighteen. An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends, and
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: against all sound judgment starts quarrels. Fools find no pleasure
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: in understanding, but delight in erring their own opinions. When
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: wickedness comes, so does contempt, and with shame comes reproach.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: The words of the mouth are deep waters, but the
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream. It is not
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: good to be partial to the wicked, and so deprive
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: the innocent of justice. The lips of fools bring them strife,
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: and their mouths invit a beating. The mouths of fools
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: are their undoing, and their lips are a snare to
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: their very liars. The words of a gossip are like
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: choice morsels. They go down to the inmost parts. One
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: who is slack in his work is brother to one
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: who destroys. The name of the Lord is a fortified tower.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: The righteous run to it and are safe. The wealth
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: of the rich is their fortified city. They imagine it
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: a wall too high to scale before a downfall. The
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor. To answer
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: before listening, that is folly and shame. The human spirit
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: can endure in times of illness, but a crushed spirit
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: who can bear the heart of the discerning, acquires knowledge.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: For the ears of the wise seek it out. A
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: gift opens the way and ushers the gither into the
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: presence of the great. In a lawsuit, the first to
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: speak seems right until someone comes forward and cross examines.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: Casting.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: The lot settles disputes and keeps strong opponents apart. A
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: brother wronged is more unyielding than a fortified city. Disputes
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: alike the barred gates of a citadel. From the fruit
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: of their mouth. A person's stomach is filled with the
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: harvest of their lips, they are satisfied. The tongue has
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: the power of life and death, and those who love
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: it will eat its fruit. He who finds a wife
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: finds what is good and receives favor from the lord.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: The poor plead for mercy, but the rich answer harshly.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin. But
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Proverbs to nineteen. Better the poor whose way of life
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse. Desire
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: without knowledge is not good. How much more will hasty
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: feet miss the way a person's own folly leads to
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: their ruin. Yet their heart rages against the lord. Wealth
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: attracts many friends, but even the closest friend of the
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: poor person deserts them. A false witness will not go unpunished,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: and whoever pours out lies will not go free. Many
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: curry favor with a ruler, and everyone is the friend
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: of one who gives gifts. The poor are shunned by
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: all their relatives. How much more do their friends avoid them.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: Though the poor pursue them with pleading, they are nowhere
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: to be found. The one who gets wisdom loves life.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: The one who cherishes understanding will south and prosper. A
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: lies will perish. It is not fitting for a fool
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: to live in luxury, how much worse for a slave
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: to rule over princes. A person's wisdom yields patience. It
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: is to one's glory to overlook an offense. A king's
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: rage is like the roar of a lion, but his
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: favor is like dew on the grass. A foolish child
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: is a father's ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: the constant dripping of a leaky roof. Houses and wealth
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: go hungry. Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life, but whoever
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: shows contempt for their ways will die. Whoever is kind
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: reward them for what they have done. Discipline your children,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: for in that there is hope. Do not be a
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: willing party to their death. A hot tempered person must
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: pay the penalty. Rescue them, and you will have to
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: do it again. Listen to advice and accept discipline, and
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: at the end you will be counted among the wise.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: Many other plans in a person's heart, but it is
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: the Lord's purpose that prevails. What a person desires is
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: unfailing love. Better to be poor than a liar. The
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: fear of the lord leads to life. Then one rests content,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: untouched by trouble. A sluggard buries his hand in the dish,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: he will not even bring it back to his mouth.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Flog a mocker, and the simple will then prudence rebuke
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: the discerning, and they will gain knowledge. Whoever robs their
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: father and drives out their mother is a child who
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: brings shame and disgrace. Stop listening to instruction, my son,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: and you will stray from the words of knowledge. A
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: corrupt witness mocks of justice, and the mouth of the
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: wicked gulps down evil. Penalties are prepared for mockers, and
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: beatings for the backs of fools. Proverbs, Chapter twenty. Wine
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: is a mocker, and beer a brawler. Whoever is led
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: astray by them is not wise. A king's wrath strikes
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: terror like the roar of a lion. Those who anger
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: him forfeit their lives. It is to one's honor to
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel. Sluggards
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: do not plow in season, so it harvest time. They
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: look but find nothing. The purposes of a person's heart
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: are deep waters, but one who has in sight draws
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: them out. Many claim to have unfailing love, that a
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: faithful person who can find the righteous lead blameless lives.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: Blessed are their children after them. When a king sits
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: on his throne to judge, he winnows out all evil
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: with his eyes. Who can say, I have kept my
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: heart pure, I am clean and without sin. Differing waits
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: and differing measures, the Lord detests them both. Even small
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: children are known by their actions. So is their conduct
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: really pure?
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: And upright?
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: Ears that here and eyes that see the Lord has
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: made them both. Do not love sleep, or you will
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: grow poor.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Stay awake, and you will have food to spare. It's
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: no good.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: It's no good, says the buyer, then goes off and
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: boasts about the purchase. Gold there is and rubies in abundance,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: But lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. Take
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Food gained by fraud tastes sweet, but one ends up
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: with a mouthful of gravel. Plans are established by seeking advice,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: so if you wage war, obtain guidance. A gossip betrays
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: a confidence, so avoid any one who talks too much.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: If someone curses their father or mother, their lamp will
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: be snuffed out in pitch darkness. An inheritance claimed too
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: soon will not be blessed at the end. Do not
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: say I'll pay you back this wrong. Wait for the Lord,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: and he will avenge you. The Lord detests differing waits,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: and dishonest scales do not please him. A person's steps
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: their own way. It is a trap to dedicate something
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: rashly and only later to consider one's vows. A wise
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: king winnows out the wicked. He drives the threshing wheel
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: over them. The human spirit is the lamp of the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: Lord that sheds light on one's inmost being. Love and
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: faithfulness keep a king safe. Through love, his throne is
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: made secure. The glory of young men is their strength,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: gray hair. The splendor of the old blows and wounds
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: scrub away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being Proverbs,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: chapter twenty one. In the lord's hand, the king's heart
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: is a stream of water that he channels towards all
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: who please him.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: A person may.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: the heart. To do what is right and just is
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Haughty eyes and
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: a proud heart, the unplowed field of the wicked produce sin.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: The plans of the diligent lead to profit, as surely
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: as haste leads to poverty. A fortune made by a
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: The violence of the wicked will drag them away, for
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: they refuse to do what is right. The way of
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: the guilty is devious, that the conduct of the innocent
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: is upright. Better to live on a corner of the roof,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: then share a house with a quarrelsome wife. The wicked
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: crave evil, their neighbors get no mercy from them. When
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom. By paying
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: attention to the wise, they get knowledge. The righteous one
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: takes note of the house of the wicked and brings
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: the wicked to ruin. Whoever shuts their ears to the
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: cry of the poor will also cry out and not
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: be answered. A gift given in secret soothes anger, and
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath. When
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous, but
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: terror to evil doers. Whoever strays from the path of
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: prudence comes to rest in the company of the dead.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: Whoever loves pleasure will become poor. Whoever loves wine and
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: olive oil will never be rich. The wicked become a
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: handsome for the righteous and the unfaithful.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: For the upright. Better to live.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: In a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: fools gulp theirs down. Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: and honor. One who is wise can go up against
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: the city of the mighty and pull down the stronghold
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: in which they trust. Those who guard their mouths and
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: their tongues keep themselves from calamity. The proud and arrogant
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: person Mocker is his name. Behaves with insolent fury. The
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: craving of a sluggard will be the death of him,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: because his hands refuse to work all day long. He
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: craves for more, but the righteous give without sparing. The
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: sacrifice of the wicked is detestable, how much more so
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: when brought with evil intent. A false witness will perish,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: but a careful listener will testify successfully. The wicked put
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: up a bold front, but the upright give thought to
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: their ways. There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: that can succeed against the Lord. The horse is made
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Proverbs, chapter twenty two. A good name is
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: more desirable than great riches. To be esteemed is better
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: than silver or gold. Rich and poor have this in common.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: The Lord is the maker of them all. The prudence
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: and pay the penalty. Humility is the fear of the
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: Lord Lord. Its wages are riches and honor and life.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: But those who would preserve their life stay far from them.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: Start children off on the way they should go, and
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: even when they are old, they will not turn from it.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: slave to the lender. Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity, and
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: the rod they wield in fury will be broken. The
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: with the poor. Drive out the mocker, and outgo strife,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: quarrels and insults are ended. One who loves a pure heart,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: and who speaks with grace will have the king for
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: a friend. The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful, says, there's
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: a lion outside, I'll be killed in the public square.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: A man who is under the Lord's wrath falls into it.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth, and
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: one who gives gifts to the rich both come to poverty.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: Thirty Sayings of the Wise saying one, pay attention and
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: turn your ear to the sayings of the wise. Apply
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: your heart to what I teach. For it is pleasing
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: when you keep them in your heart, and have all
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: of them ready on your lips, so that your trust
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: may be in the Lord. I teach you today, even
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: you have I not written thirty sayings for you, saying
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: of counsel and knowledge, teaching you to be honest and
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: to speak the truth, so that you bring back truthful
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: reports to those you serve. Saying two, do not exploit
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: the poor because they are poor, and do not crush
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: the needy in court, for the Lord will take up
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: their case and will exact life for life. Saying three.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: Do not make friends with a hot tempered person. Do
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: their ways and get yourself ensnared. Saying four, do not
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: be one who shakes hands in pledge or puts up
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: security for debts. If you lack the means to pay,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: your very bed will be snatched from under you. Saying five,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: your ancestors. Saying six, do you see someone skilled in
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: their work, they will serve before kings. They will not
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: serve before officials of low rank. Proverbs Chapter twenty three,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: saying seven, when you sit to dine with a ruler.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: Note well what is before you, and put a knife
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: to your throat. If you are given to gluttony, do
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive. Saying eight,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: do not wear yourself out to get rich. Do not
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: trust your own cleverness. Cast but a glance at riches
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: in their gone, for they will surely sprout wings and
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: fly off to the sky like an eagle. Saying nine,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: Do not eat the food of a stingy host. Do
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: not crave his delicacies, for he is the kind of person.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: He was always thinking about the cost eat and drink,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: he says to you, But his heart is not with you.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: You will vomit up the little you have eaten, and
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: will have wasted your compliments. Saying ten, Do not speak
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: to fools, for they will scorn your prudent words. Saying eleven,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: the fields of the fatherless, for their defender is strong.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: He will take up their case against you, Saying twelve.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: of knowledge. Saying thirteen, do not withhold discipline from a child.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: If you punish them with the rod, they will not die.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: Punish them with the rod and save them from death,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: saying fourteen, my son, if your heart is wise, then
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: my heart will be glad. Indeed, my inmost being will
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: rejoice when your lips speak what is right, saying fifteen,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: zealous for the fear of the Lord. There is surely
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: a future hope for you, and your hope will not
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: be cut off, saying sixteen. Listen, my son, and be wise,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: and set your heart on the right path. Do not
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: on meat. For drunkards and gluttons become poor and drowsiness
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: clothe them in rags, saying seventeen. Listen to your father,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: who gave you life, and do not despise your mother
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: when she is old. Buy the truth and do not
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: sell it. Wisdom, instruction, and insight as well. The father
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: of a righteous child has great joy. A man who
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: fathers a wise son rejoices in him. May your father
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: and mother rejoice. May she who gave you birth be joyful,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: saying eighteen, my son, give me your heart, and let
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: your eyes delight in my ways. For an adulterous woman
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: is a deep pit, and a wayward wife is a
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: narrow well. Like a bandite, she lies in wait and
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: multiplies the unfaithful among men, saying nineteen, who has woe,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: who has sorrow, who has strife, who has complaints, who
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: has needless bruises, who has bloodshot eyes? Those who linger
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: Do not gaze wine when it is red, when it
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: sparkles in the up, when it.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: Goes down smoothly.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: In the end, it bites like a snake and poisons
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: like a viper. Your eyes will see strange sights, and
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: your mind will imagine confusing things. You will be like
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: the rigging. They hit me, you will say, but I'm
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: not hurt. They beat me, but I don't feel it.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: When will I wake up so I can find another drink?
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter twenty four, saying twenty do not envy the wicked,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: do not desire their company, for their hearts plot.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: Violence, and their lips.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: Talk about making trouble, saying twenty one. By wisdom, a
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: house is built, and through understanding it is established through knowledge.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: Its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures, saying
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: twenty two The wise prevail through great power, and those
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: who have knowledge muster their strength. Surely you need guidance
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: to wage war, and victory is one through many advisers,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: saying twenty three. Wisdom is too high for fools in
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: the assembly at the gate, They must not open their
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: mouths saying twenty four. Whoever plots evil will be known
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: as a schemer. The schemes of folly as sin, and
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: people detest a mocker, saying twenty five. If you falter
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: in a time of trouble, how small is your strength?
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: Rescue those being led away to death. Hold back those
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: staggering towards slaughter. If you say, but we knew nothing
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: about this, does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: Does not he who guards your life know it? Will
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: he not repay every one according to what they have done,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: saying twenty six, Eat honey, my son, for it is good.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: Honey from the comb is sweet.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: To your taste.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: Know also that wisdom is like honey for you. If
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: you find it, there is a future hope for you,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: and your hope will not be cut off, saying twenty seven,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: do not lurk like a thief near the house of
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: the righteous. Do not plunder their dwelling place. For though
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: the righteous fall seven times, they rise again. But the
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: wicked stumble when calamity strikes, saying twenty eight, do not
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: gloat when your enemy falls when they stumble. Do not
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: disapprove and turn his wrath away from them, saying twenty nine.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: the wicked, for the evil doer has no future hope,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: saying thirty. Fear the Lord and the King, my son,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: and do not join with rebellious officials, for those two
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: will send sudden destruction on them, and who knows what
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: calamities they can bring. These also are sayings of the wise.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: To show partiality in judging is not good. Whoever says
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: to the guilty you are innocent, will be cursed by
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: peoples and denounced by nations. But it will go well
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: with those who conflict the guilty, and rich blessing will
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: come on them. An honest answer is like a kiss
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: on the lips. Put your outdoor work in order, and
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: get your fields ready. After that, build your house. Do
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: not testify against your neighbor without cause. Would you use
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: yours to mislead? Do not say I'll do to them
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: as they have done to me. I'll pay them back
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: for what they did. I went past the field of
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: Thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: and the stone wall was in ruins. I applied my
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: what I saw. A little sleep, a little slumber, a
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: come on you like a thief, and scarcity like an
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: armed man. Proverbs, chapter twenty five. These are more proverbs
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: of Solomon, compiled by the men of Hezekiah, King of Judah.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: It is the.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: Glory of God to conceal a matter. To search out
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: a matter is the glory of kings. As the heavens
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: are high and the earth is so, the hearts of
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: kings are unsearchable. Remove the dross from the silver, and
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: a silversmith can produce a vessel. Remove wicked officials from
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: the king's presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: Do not exalt yourself in the king's presence, and do
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: not claim a place among.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: His great men.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: It is better for him to say to you, come
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: up here, than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: What you have seen with your eyes. Do not bring
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: hastily to court, For what will you do in the
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: end if your neighbor puts you to shame. If you
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: take your neighbor to court, do not betray another's confidence,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: or the one who hears it may shame you, and
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: the charge against you will stand. Like apples of gold
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: in settings of silver, is a ruling rightly given, like
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: Is the rebuke.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: A wise judge to a listening ear like a snow
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: cooled drink at harvest time. Is a trustworthy messenger to
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: the one who sends him. He refreshes the spirit of
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: his master, like clouds and wind without rain. Is one
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: who boasts of gifts never given Through patience, a ruler
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: If you find honey, eat just enough. Too much of it,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: and you will vomit. Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: Too much of you, and they will hate you. Like
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: a club or a sword, or a sharp arrow, is
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: one who gives false testimony against a neighbor. Like a
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: broken tooth or a lame foot. Is reliance on the
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: unfaithful in a time of trouble, like one who takes
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: poured on a wound. Is one who sings songs to
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: a heavy heart. If your enemy is hungry, give him
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: on his head, and the Lord will reward you. Like
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: a north wind that brings unexpected rain, is a sly
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: tongue which provokes a horrified look. Better to live on
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: a corner of the roof than share a house with
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: a quarrelsome wife. Like cold water to a weary soul,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: is good news from a distant land, like a mudded
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: spring or a polluted well. Are the righteous who give
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: way to the wicked. It is not good to eat
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: too much honey, nor is it honorable to search out
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: matters that are too deep. Like a city whose walls
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: are broken through, is a person who lacks self control
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: Proverbs Chapter twenty six. Like snow in summer or rain
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: in harvest, honor is not fitting for a fool, like
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow. An undeserved curse
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: does not come to rest. A whip for the horse,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: backs of fools. Do not answer a fool according to
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: his folly, or you yourself will be.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: Just like him.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: be wise in his own eyes. Sending a message by
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: the hands of a fool is like cutting off one's feet,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: or drinking poison, like the useless legs of one who
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: is lame. Is a proverb in the mouth of a fool,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: Like tying a stone in a sling is the giving
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: of honor to a fool, Like a thorn bush in
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: a drunkard's hand is a proverb in the mouth of
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: a fool, Like an archer who wounds at random. Is
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: one who hires a fool or any passer by as
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: a dog returns to its vomit. So fools repeat their folly.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: There is more hope for a fool than for them.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: A sluggard says, there's a lion in the road, a
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: fierce lion roaming the streets. As a door turns on
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed. A
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: sluggard buries his hand in the dish, he is too
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: lazy to bring it back to his mouth. A sluggard
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: answer discreetly, like one who grabs a stray dog by
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: the ears. Is someone who rushes into a quarrel not
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: their own, like a maniac shooting flaming arrows of death.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: Is one who deceives their neighbor and says, I was
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: only joking. Without wood, A fire goes out without gossip.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: A quardle dies.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: Down as charcoal to embers, and as wood to fire.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: So is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife. The words
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: of a gossip are like choice morsels. They go down
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: to the inmost parts, like a coating of silver dross
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: on earthenware. Are fervent lips with an evil heart. Enemies
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: disguise themselves with their lips, but in their hearts they
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: harbour deceit. Though their speech is charming, do not believe them,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: for seven abominations fill their hearts. Their malice may be
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: If someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: mouth works Ruin Proverbs chapter twenty seven, not boast about tomorrow,
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: for you do not know what a day may bring.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: an outsider, and not your own lips. Stone is heavy
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: and sand a burden, but a fool's provocation is heavier
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: than both. Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming. But who
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: can stand before jealousy? Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: multiplies kisses. One who is full loathes honey from the comb.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: But to the hungry, even what is bitter tastes sweet.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: Like a bird that.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: Flees its nest is anyone who flees from home, perfume
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice. Do not
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: forsake your friend or a friend of your family, and
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: do not go to your relative's house when disaster strikes.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: You better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: Then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: The prudence see danger and take refuge. But the simple
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: keep going and pay the penalty. Take the garment of
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: one who puts up security for a stranger, hold it
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: in pledge if it is done for an outsider. If
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning, it
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: will be taken as a curse. A quadlesome wife is
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: Restraining her is like restraining the wind, or grasping oil
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: with the hand. As iron sharpens iron, so one person
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: sharpens another. The one who guards a fig tree will
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: eat its fruit, and whoever protects their master will be honored.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: Death and destruction are never satisfied, and neither a human eye.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold. But
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: people are tested by their praise. Though you grind a
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: fool in a mortar, grinding them like grain with a pestle,
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: you will not remove their folly from them. Be sure
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: you know the condition of your flocks. Give careful attention
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: to your herds, for riches do not endure forever, and
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: a crown is not secure for all generations. When the
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: hay is removed and new growth appears, and the grass
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: from the hills is gathered in, the lambs will provide
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: you with clothing, and the goats with.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: The price of a field, you will have.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: Plenty of goat's milk to feed your family and to
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: nourish your female servants. Proverbs chapter twenty eight. The wicked
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: flea though no one pursues, but the righteous are as
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: bold as a lion. When a country is rebellious, it
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: has many rulers. But a ruler with discernment and knowledge
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: maintains order. A ruler who oppresses the poor is like
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: driving rain that leaves no crops. Those who forsake instruction
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: praise the wicked, but those who heed it resist them.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: Evil doers do not understand what is right, but those
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: who seek the Lord understand it fully.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: Better.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: The poor, whose way of life is blameless, than the rich,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: whose ways are perverse. A discerning son heed's instruction, but
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: a companion of gluttons disgraces his father. Whoever increases wealth
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: by taking interest or profit from the poor, amasses it
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: for another, who will be kind to the poor. If
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: prayers are detestable. Whoever leads the upright along an evil
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: path will fall into their own trap, but the blameless
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: will receive a good inheritance. The rich are wise in
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: their own eyes. One who is poor and discerning sees
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: how deluded they are. When the righteous triumph, there is
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: great elation. But when the wicked rise to power, people
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: go into hiding. Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: But the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: Blessed is the one who always tremb before God. But
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble. Like a roaring
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: lion or a charging bear. Is a wicked ruler over
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: a helpless people. A tyrannical ruler practices extortion, but one
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: who hates ill gotten gain will enjoy a long rain.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: Any One tormented by the guilt of murder will seek
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: refuge in the grave. Let no one hold them back.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: The one whose way of life is blameless is kept safe,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: but the one whose ways are averse will fall into
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: the pit. Those who work their land will have abundant food,
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: but those who chase phantasies will.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: Have their fill of poverty.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: A faithful person will be richly blessed, but one eager
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: to get rich will not go unpunished. To show partiality
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: is not good, Yet a person will do wrong for
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: a piece of bread. The stingy are eager to get
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: rich and are unaware that poverty awaits them. Whoever rebukes
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: a person will in the end gain favor rather than
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: one who has a flattering tongue. Whoever robs their father
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: or mother and says it's not wrong is partner to
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: one who destroys. The greedy stir up conflict, but those
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: who trust in the Lord will prosper.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: Those who trust in themselves are.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: Fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: But when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive. Proverbs chapter
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: twenty nine. Whoever remains stiff necked after many rebukes will
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: suddenly be destroyed without remedy. When the righteous thrive, the
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: people rejoice. When the wicked rule, the people grown. A
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth. By justice, a
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: king gives a country stability, but those who are greedy
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: for bribes.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: Tear it down.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: Those who flatter their neighbors are spreading nets for their feet.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: Evildoers are snared by their own sin, but the righteous
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: shout for joy and are glad. The righteous care about
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: justice for the poor, that the wicked have no such concern.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: Mockers stir up a city, but the wise turn away anger.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: If a wise person goes to court with a fool,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity and seek to
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: kill the upright. Fools give full vent to their rage,
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: that the wise bring calm In the end, If a
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked. The
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: poor and the oppressor have this in common. The Lord
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: gives sight to the eyes of both. If a king
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: judges the poor with fairness, his throne will be established forever.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom. But a child
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: left undisciplined disgraces its mother. When the wicked thrives, so
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: does sin. But the righteous will see their downfall. Discipline
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: your children, and they will give you peace. They will
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: bring you the delights you desire. Where there is no revelation.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: People cast off restraint, But blessed is the one who
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: heeds wisdom's instruction. Servants cannot be care by mere words.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: Though they understand, they will not respond. Do you see
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: someone who speaks in haste. There is more hope for
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: a fool than for them. A servant pampered from youth
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: will turn out to be insolent. An angry person stirs
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: up conflict, and a hot tempered person commits many sins.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: gain honor. The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: They are put under oath, and dare not testify. Fear
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: of man will prove to be a snare. But whoever
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: trusts in the Lord is kept safe. Many seek an
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: audience with a ruler. But it is from the Lord
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: that one gets justice. The righteous detest the dishonest. The
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: wicked detest the upright. Proverbs, Chapter thirty, The sayings of Ager,
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: son of Jacob An inspired utterance. This man's utterance to Itthiel,
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: I am weary God, but I can prevail. Surely I
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: am only a brute, not a man. I do not
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: have human understanding. I have not learned wisdom, nor have
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One, who
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: has gone up to heaven and come down, whose hands
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: have gathered up the wind, who has wrapped up the
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: waters in a cloak, who has established all the ends
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: of the earth. What is his name, and what is
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: the name of his son?
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: Surely you know.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: to those who take refuge in him. Do not add
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: you a liar. Two things I ask of you, Lord,
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: Do not refuse me before I die. Keep falsehood and
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: lies far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches,
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise I may
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: have too much and disown you and say who is
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: the Lord? Or I may become poor and steal in
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: so dishonor the name of my God. Do not slander
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: a servant to their master, or they will curse you,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: and you will pay for it. There are those who
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers. Those
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: who are pure in their own eyes, and yet are
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: not cleansed of their filth. Those whose eyes are ever
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: so haughty, whose glances are so disdainful, those whose teeth
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: are swords, and whose jaws are set with knives, to
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: among the human race. The leech has two daughters, give
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: give cry.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: There are three.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: Things that are never satisfied, four that never say enough.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: The grave, the barren womb land, which is never satisfied.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: With water and fire which never says enough. The eye
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: that marks a father, that scorns an aged mother will
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, will
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: be eaten by the vultures. There are three things that
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: are too amazing for me, for that I do not understand.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: The way of an eagle in the sky, the way
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: of a snake on a rock, the way of a
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: ship on the high seas. And the way of a
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: man with a young woman. This is the way of
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: an adulterous woman. She eats and wipes her mouth and says,
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: I've done nothing wrong. Under three things, the earth trembles.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: Under four. It cannot bear up a servant who becomes king,
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: a godless fool who gets plenty to eat, a contemptible
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: woman who gets married, and a servant who displaces her mistress.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: their food in the summer. Higher axes are creatures of
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: little power, yet they make their home in the crags.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: Locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: A lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: is found in king's palaces. There are three things that
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: are stately in their stride, four that move with stately bearing.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: A lion mighty among beasts who retreats before nothing, a
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: strutting cock, a he goat, and a king secure against revolt.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: If you play the fool and exalt yourself, or if
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: you plan evil, clap your hand over your mouth. For
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: as churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife. Proverbs, Chapter
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: thirty one, The sayings of King Lemuel, an inspired utterance
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: his mother taught him. Listen, my son, listen, son of
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: my womb, Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: Do not spend your strength on women, your vigor on
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: those who ruin kings. It is not for kings, Lemuel.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: It is not for kings to drink wine, not for
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: rulers to crave beer. Lest they drink and forget what
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: has been decreed, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: Let beer be for those who are perishing, wine for
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: those who are in anguish. Let them drink and forget
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: their poverty, and remember their misery. No more, speak up
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly,
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: defend the rights of the poor and needy. A wife
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: of noble character who can find she is worth far
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm,
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: all the days of her life. She selects wool and
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: flax and works with eager hands. She is like the
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: merchant ships bringing her food from afar. She gets up
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: while it is still night. She provides food for her
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: family and portions for her female servants. She considers a
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: field and buys it out of her earnings. She plants
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously. Her arms
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: In her hand, she holds the distaff and grasps the
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: spindle with her fingers. She opens her arms to the
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows,
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: she has no fear for her household, for all of
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: them are clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: She is clothed in fine linen and purple. Her husband
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: is respected at the city gate, where he takes his
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: seat among the elders of the land. She makes linen
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: garments and sells them and supplies the merchants with sashes.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: She is clothed with strength and dignity. She can laugh
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: affairs of her household and does not eat the bread
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed. Her
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: husband also and he praises her. Many women do noble things,
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: but you surpass them.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: All.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting. But a woman
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: for all that her hands have done, and let her
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: works bring her praise at the city gate. Assass
