   Through My Bible Yr 03 – October 07

   https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-1007db.mp3 (https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-1007db.mp3) Listen to Bible reading (https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-1007db.mp3) Through My Bible Yr 03 – October 07 Proverbs 19:1 – 20:13 Proverbs 19 1 Better to be a poor person who walks in his integrity than one with perverse lips who is a fool. 2 Zeal without knowledge is certainly not good, and a person who acts hastily sins. [1] 3 A person’s own foolishness undermines his way, but his heart rages against the Lord. 4 Wealth adds many friends, but a poor person is deserted by his friend. 5 A false witness will not go unpunished. He breathes lies and will not escape. 6 Many seek the goodwill of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a person who gives gifts. 7 A poor person’s brothers all hate him. Even his friends keep their distance from him! Though he pursues them with words, they are not there. 8 A person who acquires intelligence [2] loves his life. [3] A person who guards understanding finds a good thing. 9 A false witness will not go unpunished. He breathes lies, and he will perish. 10 A life of luxury is not appropriate for a fool. How much less appropriate for a slave to rule over princes. 11 Good sense makes a person slow to anger, and it is to his credit when he overlooks an offense. 12 The king’s anger is like a lion’s growl, but his favor is refreshing like dew on the grass. Dealing With Fools 13 A foolish son is a disaster to his father, and a nagging wife is like constantly dripping water. 14 Home and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, but a wife with good sense is from the Lord. 15 Laziness makes a person fall into a deep sleep, and an idle person will go hungry. 16 A person who keeps a command preserves his life. One who despises his ways will die. 17 A person who is gracious to the poor lends to the Lord. He will repay him in full. 18 Discipline your son while there is hope. Do not make yourself responsible for his death. 19 Someone who has a lot of anger pays the penalty. If you rescue him, you will have to do it again. 20 Listen to advice and accept discipline, so that you will be wise in the future. 21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that will prevail. 22 A desirable trait in a person is loyalty. [4] It is better to be poor than a liar. 23 The fear of the Lord leads to life. One who has it rests content. He will not be disturbed by trouble. 24 A lazy person buries his hand in the dish, but he does not even bring the food up to his mouth. 25 Strike a scoffer, and an undisciplined [5] person may learn caution. Warn a person with understanding, and he will gain knowledge. 26 A son who attacks his father and chases away his mother brings shame and disgrace. 27 If you stop listening to discipline, my son, you will stray from the sayings that give knowledge. 28 A malicious witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked swallows evil. 29 Punishments have been prepared for scoffers and beatings for the backs of fools. More Dealing With Fools Proverbs 20 1 Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is intoxicated by them is not wise. 2 The king’s rage is like a lion’s growl. Whoever intrudes on him endangers his life. 3 Avoiding strife brings honor to a man, but every stubborn fool is always fighting. 4 A lazy person fails to plow when it is the season for planting. [6] He expects something in the harvest, but nothing will be there. 5 The intentions in a person’s heart are deep water, but a person with understanding can draw them out. 6 Many people claim to be loyal, [7] but who can find a trustworthy man? 7 A righteous person walks in his integrity. How blessed are his children after him! 8 When a king sits on his throne as judge, he winnows out all evil with his eyes. 9 Who can say, “I have purified my heart. I am cleansed from my sinfulness”? 10 Differing weights and differing measures— both of them are disgusting to the Lord. 11 Even a youth makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright. 12 An ear that hears and an eye that sees— the Lord has made both of them. 13 Do not love sleep, or you will become poor. Keep your eyes open, and you will have enough to eat. Footnotes Proverbs 19:2 Or a person who runs too quickly loses his way Proverbs 19:8 Literally heart Proverbs 19:8 Or his soul Proverbs 19:22 Or what a person desires is loyalty. The word translated loyalty often refers to mercy. Proverbs 19:25 Or inexperienced Proverbs 20:4 Literally at the start of the rainy season Proverbs 20:6 The word translated loyal often means merciful. The line is difficult.

   Through My Bible Yr 03 – October 06

   https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-1006db.mp3 (https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-1006db.mp3) Listen to Bible reading (https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-1006db.mp3) Through My Bible Yr 03 – October 06 Proverbs 17 – 18 More Advice for a Son Proverbs 17 1 Better a piece of dry bread with peace than a house full of feasting with quarreling. 2 A wise slave will rule over a shameful son. He will share the inheritance with the brothers. 3 There is a crucible for refining silver and a smelter for gold. In the same way the Lord examines hearts. 4 An evildoer pays attention to wicked lips. A liar feeds upon [1] a destructive tongue. 5 Whoever mocks a poor person insults his Maker. A person who rejoices over calamity will not escape. 6 Grandchildren are a crown for the elderly, and parents are a source of pride for their children. Introduction to Fools and Foolishness: The Consequences of Being a Fool 7 Eloquent lips are [2] not fitting for a fool. How much less lying lips for a ruler! 8 A bribe works like a charm for the person who gives it. Wherever he turns, he prospers. 9 A person who covers an offense pursues love, but one who repeats the matter separates friends. 10 A reprimand impresses a discerning person more than receiving a hundred lashes impresses a fool. 11 An evil person promotes only rebellion, and a cruel messenger will be sent against him. 12 Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than to meet a fool in his stupidity. 13 A person who repays evil for good— evil will never leave his house. 14 Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop the dispute before it gets started. 15 Acquitting a guilty person and convicting an innocent person— both of these are disgusting [3] to the Lord. 16 Why hand a fool money to buy wisdom, since he has no aptitude for using it? 17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of trouble. 18 A person without sense shakes hands to guarantee a loan for his neighbor. 19 A person who loves sin loves conflict. A person who builds his gate high invites destruction. 20 A crooked mind does not find good. A perverted tongue will fall into disaster. 21 The man who fathers a fool has grief, and the father of an arrogant fool will have no joy. 22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. 23 A wicked person secretly accepts a bribe to pervert the ways of justice. 24 Wisdom is right in front of a discerning person, but a fool’s eyes wander to the end of the earth. Avoiding Fools and Foolishness 25 A foolish son is an aggravation to his father and bitterness to the woman who bore him. 26 It is not good to impose a fine on a righteous person nor to flog officials because of their uprightness. 27 A person with knowledge restrains his words. A person with understanding is even-tempered. 28 Even a stubborn fool who keeps silent will be considered wise. He is considered to be perceptive if he keeps his lips shut. Proverbs 18 1 A person who is a loner seeks his own desires. He fights against all sound judgment. 2 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinions. 3 When a wicked person comes, contempt comes with him, and with dishonor comes disgrace. 4 The words from a man’s mouth are deep waters. The fountain of wisdom is a flowing stream. 5 It is not good to show favoritism to a wicked person in order to deprive a righteous person of justice. 6 A fool’s lips enter a fight, and his mouth invites a beating. 7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a trap for his soul. [4] 8 The words of a gossip are like delicious food. People gobble them right down. [5] 9 A person who fails to do his work is a brother to a vandal. 10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower. A righteous person runs inside and is protected. 11 A rich person’s wealth is his strong city. In his imagination it is like a high wall. 12 Before destruction a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. 13 If a person answers before he listens, that is foolishness that brings disgrace. 14 A man’s spirit can endure illness, but who can bear a broken spirit? 15 A discerning heart acquires knowledge, and the ears of the wise seek knowledge. 16 A person’s gift opens doors [6] for him. It leads him into the presence of great people. 17 The first person to state his case appears to be right. Then his neighbor comes and cross-examines him. 18 Casting lots [7] ends disputes and decides between powerful people. 19 A brother who has been wronged is harder to regain than a strong city, and disputes are like a bar across the gate of a citadel. 20 From the fruit of a man’s mouth, his stomach is satisfied. He is satisfied with the harvest of his lips. 21 Life and death lie in the power of a tongue, and those who love to use it will eat its fruit. 22 The man who finds a wife finds a good thing, and he obtains favor from the Lord. 23 A poor man pleads for mercy, but a rich man answers harshly. 24 A man with many acquaintances may suffer harm, but there is a loving friend who sticks closer than a brother. Footnotes Proverbs 17:4 Hebrew variant listens to Proverbs 17:7 Or excessive chatter is Proverbs 17:15 Or repulsive Proverbs 18:7 Or his life Proverbs 18:8 Literally they go down to the rooms of the belly Proverbs 18:16 Or makes room Proverbs 18:18 This probably does not refer to the Urim and Thummim but to ordinary ways of making a choice, like a coin toss.

   Through My Bible Yr 03 – October 05

   https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-1005db.mp3 (https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-1005db.mp3) Listen to Bible reading (https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-1005db.mp3) Through My Bible Yr 03 – October 05 Proverbs 15:24 – 16:33 Proverbs 15 24 The path of life leads upward for a person with insight, so that he may turn away from hell [1] below. 25 The Lord tears down the house of the arrogant, but he maintains the property line of a widow. 26 The plans of the wicked are disgusting [2] to the Lord, but pleasant words are pure to him. 27 Someone who is greedy for gain brings trouble to his own household, but a person who hates bribes will live. 28 The heart of a righteous person ponders his answer, but the mouth of a wicked person gushes evil. 29 The Lord is far away from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. 30 A twinkle in the eyes delights the heart, and good news gives health to the bones. 31 An ear that listens to a life-giving warning will find a home among the wise. 32 A person who ignores discipline despises himself, but a person who listens to a warning acquires good sense. 33 The fear of the Lord gives discipline and wisdom, and humility comes before honor. More Advice for a Wise Son Proverbs 16 1 A person may have thought things through in his heart, but an apt answer from his tongue comes from the Lord. 2 All of a person’s ways are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs motives. 3 Commit what you do to the Lord, and your plans will be established. 4 The Lord has made everything for his [3] own purpose, even a wicked person for a day of trouble. 5 Anyone with an arrogant attitude is disgusting to the Lord. Be sure of this: That person will not go unpunished. 6 Through mercy and truth, guilt is atoned for, and through the fear of the Lord, one turns away from evil. 7 When the Lord is pleased with a man’s ways, he causes even his enemies to live at peace with him. Wisdom for a King and His Subjects 8 Better a little with righteousness than a large income without justice. 9 A person’s heart plans his way, but the Lord makes his steps secure. 10 The king’s lips speak for God, so his mouth should not betray justice. 11 An accurate balance and scales belong to the Lord. He has made all the weights in the bag. 12 It is disgusting for kings to commit wickedness, because a throne is established by righteousness. 13 Kings approve of righteous lips. They love a person who speaks upright things. 14 The king’s anger is a messenger of death, but a wise person can appease it. 15 There is life in the light from a king’s face, and his favor is like a cloud that brings spring rain. 16 How much better to acquire wisdom rather than gold, and to acquire understanding is more desirable than silver. 17 The highway followed by upright people turns away from evil. The person who guards his way preserves his life. 18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit precedes a fall. 19 Better to share a humble spirit with the oppressed than to share stolen goods with the haughty. 20 Whoever gives careful consideration to a matter [4] will succeed, and the person who trusts the Lord will be blessed. 21 A wise heart will be called discerning, and appealing speech increases learning. 22 Good sense is a fountain of life for the person who possesses it, but the instruction given by stubborn fools is stupidity. 23 A wise heart produces edifying speech. It makes a person’s lips more persuasive. 24 Pleasant speech is honey from a honeycomb, sweet to the spirit and healing for the bones. Advice for a Wise Son 25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but it ends up being the road to death. 26 A laborer’s appetite labors for him, because the hunger of his mouth drives him on. 27 A worthless scoundrel constantly plots evil, and from his lips comes a scorching fire. 28 A perverse [5] man spreads conflict, and a gossip separates intimate friends. 29 A violent man entices his neighbor. He leads him on a way that is not good. 30 A person who squints his eyes is plotting something perverse. One who purses his lips has completed some evil plot. 31 Gray hair is a beautiful crown. It is found on the way to righteousness. 32 Better to be patient than to be a hero, better to control your temper than to capture a city. 33 Lots are cast into the pouch, [6] but the Lord determines all their decisions. Footnotes Proverbs 15:24 Or the grave. The Hebrew word is sheol. Proverbs 15:26 Or are an abomination Proverbs 16:4 Or its Proverbs 16:20 Or to a word or to God’s word Proverbs 16:28 Or twisted Proverbs 16:33 Or lap. It is not clear what this line means. It may allude to the pouch containing the Urim and Thummim, which the high priest wore on his chest. The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage Version®, EHV®, © 2019 Wartburg Project, Inc.
