Welcome to Proverbs Chapter 18 on Build Your Bible Habit. Chapter 18 takes us deeper into the issues of life

0:09.2

with an extra emphasis on behaviors of the fool, along with instructions on how we use our words.

0:16.7

The book of Proverbs is written on a level where we can take the learning to applying.

Let's read Chapter 18.

0:25.5

Proverbs Chapter 18. Through desire, a man having separated himself, seeketh and intermeduleth

0:32.6

with all wisdom. A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

0:40.3

When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.

0:45.9

The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing

0:51.5
