0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | As we continue in Proverbs, we read more of Solomon's words. |
0:16.6 | Chapter 13 juxtapose the consequences of walking in wisdom and walking in foolishness. |
0:21.4 | He almost makes it sound like the wise person will live a charmed life and have exactly zero problems. |
