Welcome to the Daily Audio Proverb.

I'm Brian Harden from Daily AudioBibbibble.com.

It's great to be here with you today as we take the next five minutes

and invest ourselves in unfiltered wisdom for our souls

that will certainly yield a crop of wisdom in our lives.

Today's the 29th.

We'll read Proverbs chapter 29 from the New American Standard Bible.

A man who hardens his neck after much reproof will suddenly be broken beyond remedy.

When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,

or when a wicked man rules, people groan.

A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad,

but he who keeps company with harlots wastes his wealth.

The king gives stability to the land by justice, but a man who takes bribes overthrows it.

A man who flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his steps.

By transgression, an evil man is ensnared, but the righteous sings and rejoices.

The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor. The wicked does not understand such

concern.

Scorners set a city aflame, but wise men turn away anger.

When a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, the foolish man either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.

Men of bloodshed hate the blameless, but the upright are concerned for his life.

A fool always loses his temper, but a wise man holds it back.

If a ruler pays attention to falsehood, all his ministers become wicked.
