Daily Audio Proverb April 01

Today is the first of the month, welcome to the daily audio proverb as we go around another

time through the ultimate book of wisdom as we pour this unfiltered wisdom of the ages

into our souls and lives as we invite God to speak through them.

A Brian Harden from Daily Audio Bible will read Proverbs chapter 1 from the American Standard

version today. The Proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, King of Israel,

to know wisdom and instruction, to discern the words of understanding, to receive instruction

in wise dealing, in righteousness and justice and equity, to give prudence to the simple,

to the young man knowledge and discretion, that the wise man may hear and increase in learning

and that the man of understanding may attain unto sound councils, to understand a proverb and a

figure, the words of the wise and their dark sayings. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of

knowledge, but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. My son, hear the instruction of

their father and forsake not the law of thy mother, for they shall be a chaplain of grace unto

thy head and chains about thy neck. My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

If they say, come with us, let us lay weight for blood, let us work privately for the innocent without

cause, let us swallow them up alive as sheel and whole as those that go down into the pit.

We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil.

Now shall cast thy lot among us, we will have all one purse. My son, walk not thou in the way with

them, refrain thy foot from their path, for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood,

for in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird, and these lay weight for their own blood,

they lurk privately for their own lives. So are the ways of everyone that is greedy of gain,

it takeeth away the life of the owners thereof. Wisdom cryeth allowed in the street,

she uttereth her voice in the broad places, she cryeth in the chief place of concourse,

at the entrance of the gates, in the city, she uttereth her words,

how long ye simple ones will ye love simplicity, and scoffers delight them in scoffing,

and fools hate knowledge. Turn you at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you,

I will make known my words unto you, because I have called, and ye have refused,

I have stretched out my hand in no man hath regarded, but ye have set at not all my counsel,

and would none of my reproof. I also will laugh in the day of your calamity,

I will mock when your fear cometh, when your fear cometh as a storm, and your calamity cometh

on as a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you, then they will call upon me,

but I will not answer, they will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me,

for that they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of Jehovah,

they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof, therefore shall they eat of the fruit

of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the backsliding of the simple shall

slay them, and the careless ease of fools shall destroy them, but who so harkened unto me shall dwell

securely, and shall be quiet without fear of evil. Thanks for being here today,
