It's better to gnaw on a bit of dry crust in peace than to feast in a house full of stress.

Y'all, I wish I could say I was making this stuff up.

This sounds like a meme, like a good meme, but it sounds like a meme.

Proverbs is straight up talking about it's better to eat some nasty food and quiet than to fill your life with foolishness. Better note is like, I'm not so concerned with the food you're eating like this filling up your stomach in that context as I am with the peace of your spirit. Like, bro, Proverbs 17 has some serious stuff and we're going to jump into it. Today's episode a little late. It was supposed to go up at like 3 a.m. But I'm glad y'all are still here. Like look at y'all hanging with me. Y'all are such incredibly

kind humans. We're going to read Proverbs 17 together. And then we're going to go through like, you know, kind of some of the things that stuck out to me and just kind of talk through it a little bit. as always you guys know I like to encourage you like when you are going through any kind of Bible study

man have like at least you know two different translations two three four translations

you can be like me and be a nerd and like go to the

store or even go on Amazon and like buy different translations online do some research or you can get a

free app like the Bible app she reads truth you just go to the website you know online like

bible.com I think like there's so many different you know translations be translations. Be mindful that, you know, not everything you Google that says, I'm trying to find truth is going to lead you to truth. And that's why studying is so important. And mentorship and, you know, guidance is so important. But I do encourage you guys to check out at least more than one translation when you're reading. And the translation that I just started reading from was the voice, which you guys know is one of my favorite versions. We've also got NKJV, New King James

Virgin, a little bit more, I guess, traditional, if you would say. So we're going to be going

back and forth because I think that it's just a really cool balance between the two. Proverbs 171.

Here we go. Better to gnaw on a bit of dry crust in peace than to feast in a house of stress.

Oh my goodness. Two, a wise servant will be put in charge of a child who behaves badly and will take a

share of the inheritance like one of the family. Oh, I'm excited to see what other translations

that's talking about. Three, silver is purified in the crucible gold in the furnace.

The motives of the heart are judged by the eternal.

Wrongdoers perk up when listening to gossip and liars.

Lean in close to hear talk of mischief.

Anyone who makes fun of the poor disparages his maker, disparages, disparages, disbarges,

out sounds cool, his maker and those who celebrate another misfortune will not escape

certain punishment.
