00:15 Hello and welcome back to "His words are life."
00:18 I am Kelly Mowrer and today 00:20 we will continue to read together in Proverbs. 00:22 But let's pray first. 00:24 Dear father thank you very much 00:27 that we can come and sit here for few minutes 00:29 to hear your words. 00:31 Please send the Holy Spirit to make 00:34 these words go deep into our heart 00:36 and bear fruit to your glory, 00:38 may be not just hear them but, 00:39 may they be life changing and they we be wiser. 00:42 Thank you for loving us 00:44 we love you so much, amen. 00:46 I'm reading in Proverbs chapter 19 00:50 beginning with verse 28 00:52 and this is the King James Version. 00:53 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: 00:58 and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity. 01:01 Judgments are prepared for scorners, 01:04 and stripes for the back of fools. 01:07 Proverbs chapter 20, Wine is a mocker, 01:11 strong drink is raging: 01:13 and whosoever is deceived 01:14 thereby is not wise. 01:15 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: 01:19 whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth 01:21 against his own soul. 01:22 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: 01:26 but every fool will be meddling. 01:29 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; 01:33 therefore shall he beg in harvest, 01:35 and have nothing. 01:37 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; 01:41 but a man of understanding will draw it out. 01:44 Most men will proclaim every one 01:48 his own goodness: 01:49 but a faithful man who can find? 01:53 The just man walketh in his integrity: 01:56 his children are blessed after him. 01:58 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment 02:01 scattereth away all evil with his eyes. 02:04 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, 02:09 I am pure from my sin? 02:10 Divers weights, and divers measures, 02:14 both of them are alike abomination to the Lord. 02:17 Even a child is known by his doings, 02:20 whether his work be pure, 02:22 and whether it be right. 02:24 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, 02:26 the Lord hath made even both of them. 02:28 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; 02:32 open thine eyes, 02:34 and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. 02:36 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: 02:40 but when he is gone his way, 02:42 then he boasteth. 02:43 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: 02:47 but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel. 02:50 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: 02:54 and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. 02:57 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; 03:01 but afterwards his mouth 03:03 shall be filled with gravel. 03:04 Every purpose is established by counsel: 03:08 and with good advice make war. 03:10 He that goeth about as a talebearer 03:14 revealeth secrets: therefore meddle 03:18 not with him that flattereth with his lips. 03:21 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, 03:24 his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness. 03:27 An inheritance may be gotten hastily 03:31 at the beginning; but the end thereof 03:32 shall not be blessed. Say not thou, 03:36 I will recompense evil; 03:38 but wait on the Lord, 03:40 and he shall save thee. 03:42 Divers weights are an abomination 03:45 unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good. 03:47 Man's goings are of the Lord; 03:50 how can a man then understand his own way? 03:53 It is a snare to the man who devoureth 03:58 that which is holy, 03:59 and after vows to make enquiry. 04:01 A wise king scattereth the wicked, 04:04 and bringeth the wheel over them. 04:06 The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, 04:09 searching all the inward parts of the belly. 04:11 Mercy and truth preserve the king: 04:15 and his throne is upholden by mercy. 04:18 The glory of young men is their strength: 04:21 and the beauty of old men is the grey head. 04:23 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: 04:28 so do stripes the inward parts of the belly. 04:32 Reading in Proverbs chapter 21 04:36 and this is the King James Version. 04:37 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, 04:40 as the rivers of water: 04:42 he turneth it whithersoever he will. 04:44 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: 04:48 but the Lord pondereth the hearts. 04:51 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable 04:55 to the Lord than sacrifice. 04:58 An high look, and a proud heart, 05:01 and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. 05:04 The thoughts of the diligent tend 05:07 only to plenteousness; 05:09 but of every one that is hasty only to want. 05:13 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue 05:17 is a vanity tossed to and fro of them 05:20 that seek death. The robbery of the wicked 05:23 shall destroy them; 05:24 because they refuse to do judgment. 05:26 The way of man is froward and strange: 05:30 but as for the pure, his work is right. 05:31 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, 05:34 than with a brawling woman in a wide house. 05:36 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: 05:39 his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. 05:42 When the scorner is punished, 05:44 the simple is made wise: 05:47 and when the wise is instructed, 05:49 he receiveth knowledge. 05:50 The righteous man wisely considereth 05:53 the house of the wicked: 05:54 but God overthroweth 05:56 the wicked for their wickedness. 05:58 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, 06:01 he also shall cry himself, 06:03 but shall not be heard. 06:04 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: 06:08 and a reward in the bosom strong wrath. 06:11 It is joy to the just to do judgment: 06:15 but destruction shall be to the workers 06:18 of iniquity. The man that wandereth out 06:22 of the way of understanding shall remain 06:23 in the congregation of the dead. 06:25 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: 06:28 he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. 06:32 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, 06:35 and the transgressor for the upright. 06:37 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, 06:40 than with a contentious and an angry woman. 06:42 There is treasure to be desired and oil 06:46 in the dwelling of the wise; 06:48 but a foolish man spendeth it up. 06:50 He that followeth after righteousness 06:54 and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour. 06:59 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, 07:02 and casteth down the strength of the 07:04 confidence thereof. Whoso keepeth 07:07 his mouth and his tongue keepeth 07:10 his soul from troubles. 07:12 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, 07:15 who dealeth in proud wrath. 07:17 The desire of the slothful killeth him; 07:21 for his hands refuse to labour. 07:23 He coveteth greedily all the day long: 07:25 but the righteous giveth and spareth not. 07:29 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: 07:31 how much more, 07:33 when he bringeth it with a wicked mind? 07:34 A false witness shall perish: 07:37 but the man that heareth speaketh constantly. 07:40 A wicked man hardeneth his face: 07:43 but as for the upright, he directeth his way. 07:45 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor 07:50 counsel against the Lord. 07:52 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: 07:55 but safety is of the Lord. 07:58 Proverbs chapter 22 08:01 and this is the King James Version. 08:02 A good name is rather to be chosen 08:06 than great riches, 08:07 and loving favour rather than silver and gold. 08:11 The rich and poor meet together: 08:13 the Lord is the maker of them all. 08:15 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, 08:18 and hideth himself: 08:20 but the simple pass on, 08:22 and are punished. 08:24 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, 08:28 and honour, and life. 08:30 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: 08:33 he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. 08:36 Train up a child in the way he should go: 08:40 and when he is old, 08:41 he will not depart from it. 08:43 The rich ruleth over the poor, 08:45 and the borrower is servant to the lender. 08:49 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: 08:53 and the rod of his anger shall fail. 08:55 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; 08:59 for he giveth of his bread to the poor. 09:02 Cast out the scorner, 09:04 and contention shall go out; 09:07 yea, strife and reproach shall cease. 09:09 He that loveth pureness of heart, 09:12 for the grace of his lips 09:14 the king shall be his friend. 09:16 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, 09:19 and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor. 09:22 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, 09:25 I shall be slain in the streets. 09:27 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: 09:31 he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein. 09:34 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; 09:38 but the rod of correction shall drive it 09:40 far from him. 09:41 He that oppresseth the poor to increase 09:44 his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, 09:46 shall surely come to want. 09:48 Bow down thine ear, 09:50 and hear the words of the wise, 09:51 and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. 09:54 For it is a pleasant thing 09:56 if thou keep them within thee; 09:57 they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. 10:01 That thy trust may be in the Lord, 10:03 I have made known to thee this day, 10:05 even to thee. 10:07 Have not I written to thee excellent things 10:10 in counsels and knowledge. 10:11 That I might make thee know the certainty 10:14 of the words of truth; 10:15 that thou mightest answer the words of truth 10:17 to them that send unto thee? 10:19 Rob not the poor, 10:21 because he is poor: 10:22 neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: 10:25 For the Lord will plead their cause, 10:27 and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them. 10:30 Make no friendship with an angry man; 10:33 and with a furious man thou shalt not go: 10:35 Lest thou learn his ways, 10:37 and get a snare to thy soul. 10:39 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, 10:43 or of them that are sureties for debts. 10:45 If thou hast nothing to pay, 10:47 why should he take away thy bed 10:49 from under thee? 10:50 Remove not the ancient landmark, 10:52 which thy fathers have set. 10:54 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? 10:58 He shall stand before kings; 11:00 he shall not stand before mean men. 11:03 Proverbs chapter 23. 11:06 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, 11:10 consider diligently what is before thee: 11:12 And put a knife to thy throat, 11:14 if thou be a man given to appetite. 11:16 Be not desirous of his dainties: 11:19 for they are deceitful meat. 11:20 Labour not to be rich: 11:23 cease from thine own wisdom. 11:25 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that 11:28 which is not? 11:29 For riches certainly make themselves wings; 11:33 they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. 11:35 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, 11:39 neither desire thou his dainty meats: 11:42 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: 11:45 Eat and drink, saith he to thee; 11:48 but his heart is not with thee. 11:50 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt 11:53 thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. 11:56 Speak not in the ears of a fool: 11:59 for he will despise the wisdom of thy words. 12:02 Remove not the old landmark; 12:04 and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: 12:06 For their redeemer is mighty; 12:08 he shall plead their cause with thee. 12:10 Apply thine heart unto instruction, 12:13 and thine ears to the words of knowledge. 12:16 Withhold not correction from the child: 12:19 for if thou beatest him with the rod, 12:21 he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him 12:23 with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul 12:25 from hell. My son, if thine heart be wise, 12:29 my heart shall rejoice, even mine. 12:32 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, 12:34 when thy lips speak right things. 12:37 Let not thine heart envy sinners: 12:40 but be thou in the fear of the Lord 12:43 all the day long. 12:44 For surely there is an end; 12:46 and thine expectation shall not be cut off. 12:49 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, 12:52 and guide thine heart in the way. 12:53 Be not among winebibbers; 12:56 among riotous eaters of flesh: 12:58 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come 13:00 to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man 13:04 with rags. Hearken unto thy father 13:07 that begat thee, and despise not thy mother 13:10 when she is old. Buy the truth, 13:12 and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, 13:16 and understanding. 13:17 The father of the righteous 13:19 shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth 13:22 a wise child shall have joy of him. 13:24 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, 13:27 and she that bare thee shall rejoice. 13:29 My son, give me thine heart, 13:32 and let thine eyes observe my ways. 13:34 For a whore is a deep ditch; 13:37 and a strange woman is a narrow pit. 13:39 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, 13:42 and increaseth the transgressors among men. 13:44 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? 13:47 who hath contentions? who hath babbling? 13:49 who hath wounds without cause? 13:51 who hath redness of eyes? 13:53 They that tarry long at the wine; 13:56 they that go to seek mixed wine. 13:58 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, 14:02 when it giveth his colour in the cup, 14:04 when it moveth itself aright. 14:05 At the last it biteth like a serpent, 14:08 and stingeth like an adder. 14:10 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, 14:12 and thine heart shall utter perverse things. 14:15 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down 14:17 in the midst of the sea, 14:18 or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. 14:21 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, 14:23 and I was not sick; they have beaten me, 14:25 and I felt it not: when shall I awake? 14:27 I will seek it yet again. 14:29 Thank you for joining with me today 14:33 to read the words of God and until 14:35 we need again may He keep each one of us 14:37 in His care and His glory, good bye. |
