Today is the 20th of the month.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Proverb.

I'm Brian Harden from Daily AudioBibbibble.com, and I'm honored, and it's a joy to be here today as we spend the next few minutes together,

pouring over the ultimate book of wisdom, the book of Proverbs, and inviting this wisdom into our lives so that we can live wise and insightful

lives. Today's the 20th, we'll read the 20th chapter of the book of Proverbs from the common English Bible.

Wine is a mocker, beer a carouser. Those it leads astray won't become wise.

A king is as terrifying as a lion's growl. Those who anger him may lose their life.

It is honorable to back off from a fight, but fools jump right in.

The lazy don't plow during winter.

At harvest they look out but find nothing.

Advice comes from the deep waters of the heart.

Those with understanding can draw it out.

Many people will say that they are loyal, but who can find a reliable person?

The righteous live with integrity.

Happy are their children who come after them.

A king who sits on his judgment throne sifts out all evil with his eyes.

Who can say, I'm innocent to the core. I'm cleansed from my sin. False weights and measures.

The Lord detests them both. Even young people are known by their actions, whether their conduct is pure and upright.

Ears to hear and eyes to see. The Lord made them both.

Don't love sleep or you will be poor.

Stay alert and you will have plenty to eat.

The buyer says, bad, bad, but then goes away and brags.
