Today is the 14th of the month.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Proverb.

I'm Brian Hardin from Daily AudioBibylbibyl.com,

and it's my joy to be here with you today

as we spend five minutes

among the wisdom of the ages,

pouring unfiltered wisdom from the book of Proverbs

into our lives and souls.

We'll read from the message today, Proverbs chapter 14.

Lady Wisdom builds a lovely home.

Sir Fool comes along and tears it down brick by brick.

An honest life shows respect for God. A degenerate life is a slap in his face. Frivolous talk

provokes a derisive smile. Why speech evokes nothing but respect. No cattle, no crops. A good harvest

requires a strong ox for the plow.

A true witness never lies.

A false witness makes a business of it.

Cynics look high and low for wisdom and never find it.

The open-minded find it right on their doorstep.

Escape quickly from the company of fools.

They're a waste of your time. A waste of your words. The wisdom of the wise keeps life on track.

The foolishness of fools lands them in the ditch. The stupid ridicule, right and wrong.

But a moral life is a favored life.
