Welcome to the Daily Audio Proverb, five minutes a day, and the ultimate book of wisdom.

I'm Brian Harden from Daily AudioBibbiblical.com.

It's great to be here with you today.

It's the 23rd, so we'll read the 23rd chapter of the book of Proverbs today from the easy-to-read version.

When you sit and eat with an important person, remember who you are with.

Never eat too much, even if you are very hungry.

Don't eat too much of his fine food, and might be a trick.

Don't ruin your health trying to get rich.

If you are smart, you will give it up.

In the blink of an eye, money can disappear, as if it grew wings and flew away like a bird.

Don't eat with selfish people.

Control any desire you have for their finest foods.

They might tell you to eat and drink all you want, but they don't really mean it.

They are the kind of people who are only thinking about the cost, and if you eat their food, you will get sick and be embarrassed.

Don't try to teach fools.

They will make fun of your wise words.

Never move an old property line, and don't take land that belongs to orphans.

The Lord will be against you.

He is powerful and protects orphans.

Listen to your teacher and learn all you can.

Always correct children when they need it.

If you spank them, it will not kill them.
