Welcome to the Daily Audio Proverb.

I'm Brian Hardin from Daily AudioBibybal.com,

and for the next five minutes,

we'll spend some time ingesting the ultimate book of wisdom,

the book of Proverbs,

and invite the Lord to yield a crop of insight and wisdom into our lives.

Today is the 26th.

I'll read the 26th chapter of Proverbs from the Holman Christian Standard Bible.

Like snow in summer and rain at harvest, honor is inappropriate for a fool.

Like a flitting sparrow or a fluttering swallow, an undeserved curse goes nowhere.

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools.

Don't answer a fool according to his foolishness, or he'll be like him yourself.

Answer a fool according to his foolishness, or he'll become wise in his own eyes.

The one who sends a message by a fool's hand, cuts off his own feet, and drinks violence.

A proverb in the mouth of a fool is like lame legs that hang limp.

Giving honor to a fool is like binding a stone in a sling.

A proverb in the mouth of a fool is like a stick with thorns,

brandished by the hand of a drunkard.

The one who hires a fool, or who hires those passing by, is like an archer who wounds everyone.

As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness.

Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?

There is more hope for a fool than for him.
