0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:12.7 | Today we continue our progress through Proverbs, and we're still in the dad's advice to his son. |
0:18.0 | He has more warnings about adultery. He wants these words to be in his son's line of |
0:23.2 | sight and on his hands and in his heart. All three of those areas, eyes, hands and heart, |
0:30.0 | are important aspects of walking in holiness and purity. If the son has this wisdom at the forefront |

1:35.0 | woman who also cries aloud in the street. This is wisdom personified. She raises her voice |
1:41.1 | to call out too. She appeals to the fool and the simpletons to listen to what |
