Summary
Today's Scripture:
PROVERBS 26:1-12
Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,
so honor is not fitting for a fool.
2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying,
a curse that is causeless does not alight.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
and a rod for the back of fools.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly,
lest you be like him yourself.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
lest he be wise in his own eyes.
6 Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool
cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.
7 Like a lame man's legs, which hang useless,
is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8 Like one who binds the stone in the sling
is one who gives honor to a fool.
9 Like a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard
is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 Like an archer who wounds everyone
is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.
11 Like a dog that returns to his vomit
is a fool who repeats his folly.
12 Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

| 0:47.8 | Concerning what he calls a fool, a fool is a person who does all kinds of crazy things, |
| 0:55.5 | things that don't make sense, and Solomon is going to spend a great deal of time giving |
| 0:59.7 | us a number of illustrations to exemplify what a fool is like. |
| 1:05.9 | Obviously, with the desire to encourage us not to be this person, number one, and number |
| 1:13.5 | two, not to associate with this person, meaning not to be harmed by the actions of a fool. |
| 1:21.0 | Let's read the passage. |
| 1:23.0 | This is Proverbs 26, 1 through 12, says like snow in summer or rain in harvest. |
| 1:31.8 | So it honor is not fitting for a fool. |
| 1:35.8 | Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, a curse that is causeless |
