Buy the truth, and never sell it
On this episode
"Buy the truth and don't sell it" is a proverb about putting truth above everything else in your life. It talks about being uncompromised in truth when faced with worldly things. The verse also says that truth is absolute and not open to interpretation as the modern world would have you believe.
Proverbs 23
"When you sit down to eat with a ruler, Consider carefully what is before you; 2 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-2.htm)And put a knife to your throat. If you are a man given to appetite.3 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-3.htm)Do not desire his delicacies,
For they are deceptive food. 4 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-4.htm)Do not overwork to be rich;
Because of your own understanding, cease! 5 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-5.htm)[a] (https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/23.htm#footnotes)Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven. 6 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-6.htm)Do not eat the bread of a[b] (https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/23.htm#footnotes) miser, Nor desire his delicacies; 7 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-7.htm)For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you,
But his heart is not with you. 8 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-8.htm)The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up, And waste your pleasant words. 9 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-9.htm)Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words 10 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-10.htm)Do not remove the ancient [c] (https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/23.htm#footnotes)landmark, Nor enter the fields of the fatherless; 11 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-11.htm)For their Redeemer is mighty; He will plead their cause against you. 12 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-12.htm)Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to words of knowledge. 13 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-13.htm)Do not withhold correction from a child, For if you beat him with a rod, he will not die. 14 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-14.htm)You shall beat him with a rod, And deliver his soul from [d] (https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/23.htm#footnotes)hell. 15 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-15.htm)My son, if your heart is wise, My heart will rejoice—indeed, I myself;
16 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-16.htm)Yes, my [e] (https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/23.htm#footnotes)inmost being will rejoice When your lips speak right things. 17 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-17.htm)Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day; 18 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-18.htm)For surely there is a [f] (https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/23.htm#footnotes)hereafter,
And your hope will not be cut off. 19 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-19.htm)Hear, my son, and be wise;
And guide your heart in the way. 20 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-20.htm)Do not mix with winebibbers,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat; 21 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-21.htm)For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, And drowsiness will clothe a man with rags. 22 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-22.htm)Listen to your father who begot you, And do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 (http://biblehub.com/proverbs/23-23.htm)Buy the truth, and do not sell it
