Welcome to the Daily Audio Proverb.

Today is the 22nd and we'll read Proverbs chapter 22 from the God's Word translation.

I'm Brian Harden and it's my honor to be here with you,

spending time in the ultimate book of wisdom,

pouring that wisdom directly into our hearts.

A good name is more desirable than great wealth.

Respect is better than silver or gold.

The rich and the poor have this in common. The Lord is the maker of them all.

Sensible people foresee trouble and hide from it, but gullible people go ahead and suffer the consequence.

On the heels of humility, the fear of the Lord,

a riches, an honor, and life.

A devious person has thorns and traps ahead of him.

Whoever guards himself will stay far away from them. Train a child in the way he should go,

and even when he is old, he will not turn away from it.

A rich person rules poor people,

and a borrower is a slave to the lender.

Whoever plans injustice will harvest trouble. and a borrower is a slave to the lender.

Whoever plans injustice will harvest trouble, and this weapon of his own fury will be destroyed.

Whoever is generous will be blessed because he has shared his food with the poor.

Drive out a mocker and conflict will leave.

Quarling and abuse will stop.

Whoever loves a pure heart and whoever speaks graciously has a king as his friend.
