Today is the 24th, welcome to the Daily Audio Proverb, I'm Brian Harden.
It is an honor to be here with you today, as it is every single day, as we journey our
way through the ultimate Book of Wisdom, the Book of Proverbs, when we're reading chapter
24 of the Book of Proverbs from the Holmen Christian Standard Bible today.
One envy, evil men, or desire to be with them, for their hearts plan violence and their
words stir up trouble.
A house is built by wisdom, and it is established by understanding.
By knowledge, the rooms are filled with every precious and beautiful treasure.
A wise warrior is better than a strong one, and a man of knowledge than one of strength.
For you should wage war with sound guidance.
Victory comes with many counselors.
Wisdom is inaccessible to a fool.
He does not open his mouth at the gate.
The one who plots evil will be called a schemer.
A foolish scheme is sin and a marker is detestable to people.
If you do nothing in a difficult time, your strength is limited.
Rescue those being taken off to death and save those stumbling towards slaughter.
If you say, but we didn't know about this, won't he who weighs hearts consider it?
Won't he who protects your life?
Won't he repay a person according to his work?
For it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to your palate.
Realize that wisdom is the same for you.
If you find it, you will have a future.
Your home will never fade.
Wicked man, don't set an ambush at the cap of the righteous man.
Don't destroy his dwelling.
Though a righteous man falls, seven times he will get up, but the wicked will stumble
Don't gloat when your enemy falls.
And don't let your heart rejoice when he stumbles or the Lord will see.
Be displeased and turn his wrath away from him.
Don't be agitated by evil doers and don't envy the wicked for the evil have no future.
The lap of the wicked will be put out.
My son, fear the Lord as well as the king and don't associate with rebels for destruction
from them will come suddenly.
Who knows what distress these two can bring?
These sayings also belong to the wise.
It is not good to show partiality and judgment.
Whoever says to the guilty, you are innocent.
People will curse him and tribes will denounce him, but it will go well with those who convict
the guilty, and a generous blessing will come to them.
He who gives an honest answer gives a kiss on the lips.
Be your outdoor work and prepare your field afterward, build your house.
Don't testify against your neighbor without cause.
Don't deceive with your lips, don't say, I'll do to him what he did to me, I'll repay
the man for what he has done.
I went by the field of a slacker, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense.
Weeds covered the ground and the stone wall was ruined.
I saw and took it to heart.
I looked and received instruction, a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of
the arms to rest, and your poverty will come like a robber, your need, like a bandit.
