Welcome back to another episode of the Bryce Crawford podcast. I'm Bryson. Today, we're on Proverbs 26 out of the 31 chapters in Proverbs. Guys, I pray this series

is blessing you. I mean, we're deep in the series now, but if you guys want the free Bible

study plan, go to Jesusandestreet.org slash proverbs. Get your Bible plan now. Let's break down

Proverbs 26. Verse one, like snow and summer or rain and harvest harvest so honor is not fitting for a fool

proverbs 26 first one is just opening up here and saying honor for the fool is out of place

and can lead to disaster imagine a fool receiving honor their chest just puffs up with pride

the good encouragement actually becomes pride and they just walk around

with a big chest. It can lead to a disaster. Verse two, like a sparrow and it's flitting, like a swallow and it's flying, a curse that is causeless does not alight.

oftentimes as we've read in proverbs these fools and the simple ones will actually experience the

damage of their own folly right now the lord brings judgment on the wicked and and and things like that

people that don't repent right but when fools pour out their foolishness it is more times it is more right

oftentimes to just not answer them because when we respond to them like it says in in verse

verse four and five like don't answer a fool according to this falling like oftentimes it's just

better if we just like humble ourselves and shut up verses seven through twelve like a lame man's

legs which hang useless is a proverb in the mouth of fools like one who binds the stone in the

sling is one who gives honor to a fool like a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard
