Welcome to the Daily Audio Proverb.

Today is the 24th.

I'm Brian Harden from Daily AudioBibybal.com,

and it's an honor to be here with you today,

as we spend a few minutes in the ultimate book of wisdom.

We'll read Proverbs chapter 24 in today from the God's Word translation.

Thank you. Chapter 24 in today from the God's Word translation. Do not envy evil people or wish you were with them

because their minds plot violence and their lips talk trouble.

With wisdom, a house is built, with understanding it is established. With knowledge, its

rooms are filled with every kind of riches, both precious and pleasant. A strong man knows

how to use his strength, but a person with knowledge is even more powerful.

After all, with the right strategy you can wage war,

and with many advisors, there is victory.

Matters of wisdom are beyond the grasp of a stubborn fool.

At the city gate, he does not open his mouth.

Whoever plans to do evil will be known as a schemer. Foolish, scheming is sinful, and a mocker is disgusting to everyone. If you faint

in a crisis, you are weak. Rescue captives condemned to death

and spare those staggering toward their slaughter.

When you say, we didn't know this,

won't the one who weighs hearts take note of it?

Won't the one who guards your soul know it?

Won't he pay back people for what they do?
