Hello, and welcome
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:15.52\00:00:17.61
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank you
for being with me again today
00:00:17.64\00:00:21.35
to read from the
book of Proverbs.
00:00:21.38\00:00:22.96
Let's pray
together before we start.
00:00:22.99\00:00:25.33
Dear Lord, Thank You for the
wisdom that is contained in this
00:00:25.36\00:00:31.84
particular portion of the
Bible that we're reading today.
00:00:31.87\00:00:35.08
May these words come into our
hearts and give us a practical
00:00:35.11\00:00:42.08
way to serve you
better and more wisely.
00:00:42.11\00:00:45.25
Send the Holy Spirit to
teach us what you have for us
00:00:45.28\00:00:48.72
to learn here.
00:00:48.75\00:00:49.72
Thank You for loving us.
00:00:49.73\00:00:50.83
We love You so much.
00:00:50.86\00:00:51.83
Amen.
00:00:51.84\00:00:52.81
I'm reading from Proverbs
8 and starting with verse 11,
00:00:53.37\00:00:58.39
and this is the
King James version.
00:00:58.43\00:01:00.36
For wisdom is better than
rubies; and all the things that
00:01:00.39\00:01:05.89
may be desired are
not to be compared to it.
00:01:05.92\00:01:09.33
I wisdom dwell with
prudence, and find out knowledge
00:01:09.36\00:01:15.79
of witty inventions.
00:01:15.83\00:01:17.46
The fear of the Lord is to
hate evil: pride, and arrogancy,
00:01:17.49\00:01:22.50
and the evil way, and
the froward mouth, do I hate.
00:01:22.54\00:01:27.18
Counsel is mine, and sound
wisdom: I am understanding;
00:01:27.22\00:01:31.83
I have strength.
00:01:31.86\00:01:33.59
By me kings reign, and
princes decree justice.
00:01:33.63\00:01:38.51
By me princes rule, and
nobles, even all the judges
00:01:38.55\00:01:43.66
of the earth.
00:01:43.69\00:01:44.71
I love them that love me;
and those that seek me early
00:01:44.74\00:01:49.79
shall find me.
00:01:49.83\00:01:51.25
Riches and honor are
with me; yea, durable riches
00:01:51.29\00:01:55.87
and righteousness.
00:01:55.91\00:01:57.32
My fruit is better than
gold, yea, than fine gold;
00:01:57.35\00:02:01.46
and my revenue
than choice silver.
00:02:01.49\00:02:04.58
I lead in the way of
righteousness, in the midst
00:02:04.62\00:02:08.47
of the paths of judgment: that
I may cause those that love me
00:02:08.51\00:02:13.15
to inherit substance; and
I will fill their treasures.
00:02:13.18\00:02:17.66
The Lord possessed me in
the beginning of his way,
00:02:17.70\00:02:22.14
before his works of old.
00:02:22.18\00:02:24.12
I was set up from
everlasting, from the beginning,
00:02:24.15\00:02:28.19
or ever the earth was.
00:02:28.22\00:02:30.09
When there were no
depths, I was brought forth;
00:02:30.13\00:02:33.72
when there were no
fountains abounding with water.
00:02:33.75\00:02:36.91
Before the mountains
were settled, before the hills
00:02:36.95\00:02:40.04
was I brought forth: while as
yet he had not made the earth,
00:02:40.08\00:02:43.68
nor the fields, nor the highest
part of the dust of the world.
00:02:43.72\00:02:47.29
When he prepared the heavens,
I was there: when he set a
00:02:47.33\00:02:51.83
compass upon the face of
the depth: when he established
00:02:51.86\00:02:55.54
the clouds above: when he
strengthened the fountains
00:02:55.58\00:02:59.32
of the deep: when he
gave to the sea his decree,
00:02:59.36\00:03:02.65
that the waters should
not pass his commandment:
00:03:02.68\00:03:05.76
when he appointed the
foundations of the earth:
00:03:05.79\00:03:09.46
then I was by him, as
one brought up with him:
00:03:09.49\00:03:13.09
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing always before him;
00:03:13.13\00:03:17.90
rejoicing in the
habitable part of his earth;
00:03:17.94\00:03:20.99
and my delights were
with the sons of men.
00:03:21.02\00:03:24.40
Now therefore hearken
unto me, O ye children:
00:03:24.43\00:03:27.77
for blessed are
they that keep my ways.
00:03:27.81\00:03:32.40
Hear instruction, and
be wise, and refuse it not.
00:03:32.44\00:03:38.18
Blessed is the man that heareth
me, watching daily at my gates,
00:03:38.21\00:03:43.46
waiting at the
posts of my doors.
00:03:43.49\00:03:46.48
For whoso findeth me
findeth life, and shall obtain
00:03:46.51\00:03:52.07
favor of the Lord.
00:03:52.10\00:03:53.21
But he that sinneth against
me wrongeth his own soul:
00:03:53.24\00:03:58.57
all they that
hate me love death.
00:03:58.60\00:04:02.47
Reading in Proverbs chapter 9;
this is the King James Version.
00:04:02.51\00:04:07.58
Wisdom hath builded her
house, she hath hewn out
00:04:07.62\00:04:11.72
her seven pillars: she
hath killed her beasts;
00:04:11.75\00:04:15.78
she hath mingled her wine; she
hath also furnished her table.
00:04:15.81\00:04:19.75
She hath sent forth her maidens:
she crieth upon the highest
00:04:19.78\00:04:24.09
places of the city, whoso is
simple, let him turn in hither:
00:04:24.12\00:04:28.03
as for him that wanteth
understanding, she saith to him,
00:04:28.07\00:04:31.94
Come, eat of my
bread, and drink of the wine
00:04:31.97\00:04:34.58
which I have mingled.
00:04:34.61\00:04:36.05
Forsake the foolish,
and live; and go in the way
00:04:36.09\00:04:40.29
of understanding.
00:04:40.33\00:04:41.53
He that reproveth a scorner
getteth to himself shame:
00:04:41.56\00:04:47.62
and he that rebuketh a wicked
man getteth himself a blot.
00:04:47.66\00:04:53.68
Reprove not a
scorner, lest he hate thee:
00:04:53.72\00:04:57.77
rebuke a wise man,
and he will love thee.
00:04:57.81\00:05:01.80
Give instruction to a wise
man, and he will be yet wiser:
00:05:01.83\00:05:06.82
teach a just man, and he
will increase in learning.
00:05:06.85\00:05:10.61
The fear of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom:
00:05:10.65\00:05:14.59
and the knowledge of
the holy is understanding.
00:05:14.62\00:05:18.49
For by me thy days shall
be multiplied, and the years
00:05:18.52\00:05:23.12
of thy life shall be increased.
00:05:23.16\00:05:25.45
If thou be wise, thou
shalt be wise for thyself:
00:05:25.48\00:05:28.73
but if thou scornest,
thou alone shalt bear it.
00:05:28.76\00:05:32.76
A foolish woman is
clamorous: she is simple,
00:05:32.80\00:05:36.76
and knoweth nothing.
00:05:36.80\00:05:38.21
For she sitteth at the door
of her house, on a seat in the
00:05:38.25\00:05:42.25
high places of the city,
to call passengers who go
00:05:42.28\00:05:45.60
right on their ways: whoso is
simple, let him turn in hither:
00:05:45.63\00:05:49.27
and as for him that wanteth
understanding, she saith to him,
00:05:49.31\00:05:52.95
Stolen waters are
sweet, and bread eaten
00:05:52.99\00:05:57.28
in secret is pleasant.
00:05:57.31\00:05:58.66
But he knoweth not
that the dead are there;
00:05:58.69\00:06:02.47
and that her guests
are in the depths of hell.
00:06:02.51\00:06:06.21
Proverbs chapter 10; this
is the King James Version.
00:06:06.25\00:06:10.58
The Proverbs of Solomon.
00:06:10.61\00:06:13.03
A wise son maketh a glad
father: but a foolish son is
00:06:13.07\00:06:18.11
the heaviness of his mother.
00:06:18.14\00:06:19.86
Treasures of wickedness profit
nothing: but righteousness
00:06:19.89\00:06:26.15
delivereth from death.
00:06:26.19\00:06:27.80
The Lord will not suffer the
soul of the righteous to famish:
00:06:27.83\00:06:33.06
but he casteth away the
substance of the wicked.
00:06:33.09\00:06:36.71
He becometh poor that
dealeth with a slack hand:
00:06:36.74\00:06:40.32
but the hand of the
diligent maketh rich.
00:06:40.36\00:06:44.46
He that gathereth in summer is
a wise son: but he that sleepeth
00:06:44.50\00:06:49.84
in harvest is a
son that causeth shame.
00:06:49.87\00:06:53.38
Blessings are upon the head of
the just: but violence covereth
00:06:53.42\00:06:59.17
the mouth of the wicked.
00:06:59.21\00:07:00.56
The memory of the just
is blessed: but the name
00:07:00.60\00:07:04.35
of the wicked shall rot.
00:07:04.39\00:07:05.60
The wise in heart
will receive commandments:
00:07:05.64\00:07:09.87
but a prating fool shall fall.
00:07:09.90\00:07:13.11
He that walketh
uprightly walketh surely:
00:07:13.15\00:07:17.78
but he that perverteth
his ways shall be known.
00:07:17.81\00:07:21.72
He that winketh with
the eye causeth sorrow:
00:07:21.76\00:07:25.63
but a prating fool shall fall.
00:07:25.67\00:07:28.40
The mouth of a
righteous man is a well of life:
00:07:28.44\00:07:31.45
but violence covereth
the mouth of the wicked.
00:07:31.49\00:07:34.44
Hatred stirreth up strifes:
but love covereth all sins.
00:07:34.47\00:07:40.51
In the lips of him that hath
understanding wisdom is found:
00:07:40.54\00:07:45.57
but a rod is for the back of him
that is void of understanding.
00:07:45.60\00:07:50.60
Wise men lay up knowledge:
but the mouth of the foolish
00:07:50.63\00:07:54.89
is near destruction.
00:07:54.93\00:07:56.64
The rich man's
wealth is his strong city:
00:07:56.67\00:07:59.58
the destruction of
the poor is their poverty.
00:07:59.62\00:08:03.39
The labor of the
righteous tendeth to life:
00:08:03.42\00:08:07.15
the fruit of the wicked to sin.
00:08:07.19\00:08:10.03
He is in the way of life
that keepeth instruction:
00:08:10.07\00:08:14.23
but he that
refuseth reproof erreth.
00:08:14.27\00:08:18.22
He that hideth hatred with
lying lips, and he that uttereth
00:08:18.26\00:08:23.54
a slander, is a fool.
00:08:23.57\00:08:26.10
In the multitude of
words there wanteth not sin:
00:08:26.14\00:08:30.42
but he that
refraineth his lips is wise.
00:08:30.46\00:08:34.26
The tongue of the
just is as choice silver:
00:08:34.29\00:08:37.84
the heart of the
wicked is little worth.
00:08:37.88\00:08:41.70
The lips of the
righteous feed many:
00:08:41.73\00:08:45.33
but fools die
for want of wisdom.
00:08:45.36\00:08:48.88
The blessing of the
Lord, it maketh rich,
00:08:48.92\00:08:53.56
and he addeth no sorrow with it.
00:08:53.59\00:08:56.48
It is as sport to a
fool to do mischief:
00:08:56.51\00:08:59.81
but a man of
understanding hath wisdom.
00:08:59.85\00:09:03.08
The fear of the
wicked, it shall come upon him:
00:09:03.12\00:09:06.68
but the desire of the
righteous shall be granted.
00:09:06.72\00:09:10.39
As the whirlwind passeth,
so is the wicked no more:
00:09:10.42\00:09:13.51
but the righteous is
an everlasting foundation.
00:09:13.55\00:09:17.28
As vinegar to the teeth,
and as smoke to the eyes,
00:09:17.32\00:09:21.01
so is the sluggard
to them that send him.
00:09:21.05\00:09:24.67
The fear of the Lord prolonged
days: but the years of the
00:09:24.71\00:09:28.36
wicked shall be shortened.
00:09:28.39\00:09:29.98
The hope of the
righteous shall be gladness:
00:09:30.02\00:09:33.61
but the expectation of
the wicked shall perish.
00:09:33.64\00:09:37.45
The way of the Lord is
strength to the upright:
00:09:37.49\00:09:41.23
but destruction shall be
to the workers of iniquity.
00:09:41.26\00:09:44.61
The righteous
shall never be removed:
00:09:44.65\00:09:48.27
but the wicked shall
not inhabit the earth.
00:09:48.31\00:09:51.44
The mouth of the just
bringeth forth wisdom:
00:09:51.48\00:09:54.77
but the froward
tongue shall be cut out.
00:09:54.81\00:09:58.03
The lips of the righteous
know what is acceptable:
00:09:58.06\00:10:01.91
but the mouth of the
wicked speaketh frowardness.
00:10:01.94\00:10:05.75
Proverbs 11; this is
the King James Version.
00:10:05.79\00:10:09.72
A false balance is
abomination to the Lord:
00:10:09.75\00:10:13.65
but a just
weight is his delight.
00:10:13.68\00:10:16.58
When pride
cometh, then cometh shame:
00:10:16.62\00:10:19.48
but with the lowly is wisdom.
00:10:19.51\00:10:22.35
The integrity of the
upright shall guide them:
00:10:22.38\00:10:25.49
but the
perverseness of transgressors
00:10:25.52\00:10:28.22
shall destroy them.
00:10:28.26\00:10:29.73
Riches profit not in the
day of wrath: but righteousness
00:10:29.77\00:10:34.88
delivereth from death.
00:10:34.92\00:10:36.82
The righteousness of the
perfect shall direct his way:
00:10:36.86\00:10:40.42
but the wicked shall
fall by his own wickedness.
00:10:40.46\00:10:43.37
The righteousness of the
upright shall deliver them:
00:10:43.40\00:10:46.24
but transgressors shall be
taken in their own naughtiness.
00:10:46.28\00:10:50.08
When a wicked man dieth,
his expectation shall perish:
00:10:50.11\00:10:53.88
and the hope of
unjust men perisheth.
00:10:53.91\00:10:57.20
The righteous is
delivered out of trouble,
00:10:57.24\00:11:00.01
and the wicked
cometh in his stead.
00:11:00.04\00:11:02.30
An hypocrite with his
mouth destroyeth his neighbor:
00:11:02.34\00:11:05.99
but through knowledge
shall the just be delivered.
00:11:06.02\00:11:09.60
When it goeth well with the
righteous, the city rejoiceth:
00:11:09.64\00:11:13.22
and when the wicked
perish, there is shouting.
00:11:13.26\00:11:15.43
By the blessing of the
upright the city is exalted:
00:11:15.47\00:11:18.57
but it is overthrown by
the mouth of the wicked.
00:11:18.61\00:11:22.38
He that is void of
wisdom despiseth his neighbor:
00:11:22.41\00:11:26.43
but a man of
understanding holdeth his peace.
00:11:26.47\00:11:30.41
A talebearer revealeth secrets;
but he that is of a faithful
00:11:30.45\00:11:36.23
spirit concealeth the matter.
00:11:36.26\00:11:39.19
Where no counsel
is, the people fall:
00:11:39.23\00:11:43.73
but in the multitude of
counselors there is safety.
00:11:43.77\00:11:48.65
He that is surety for a
stranger shall smart for it:
00:11:48.68\00:11:53.53
and he that hateth
suretyship is sure.
00:11:53.57\00:11:57.44
A gracious
woman retaineth honor:
00:11:57.47\00:12:00.53
and strong men retain riches.
00:12:00.57\00:12:02.70
The merciful man
doeth good to his own soul:
00:12:02.74\00:12:05.82
but he that is cruel
troubleth his own flesh.
00:12:05.86\00:12:08.90
The wicked
worketh a deceitful work:
00:12:08.94\00:12:11.43
but to him that soweth
righteousness shall be a
00:12:11.47\00:12:14.02
sure reward.
00:12:14.06\00:12:15.06
As righteousness tendeth to
life: so he that pursueth evil
00:12:15.09\00:12:20.22
pursueth it to his own death.
00:12:20.26\00:12:22.56
They that are of a froward heart
are abomination to the Lord:
00:12:22.59\00:12:27.34
but such as are upright
in their way are his delight.
00:12:27.37\00:12:31.83
Though hand join in hand, the
wicked shall not be unpunished:
00:12:31.86\00:12:37.38
but the seed of the
righteous shall be delivered.
00:12:37.41\00:12:40.34
As a jewel of gold in a swine's
snout, so is a fair woman
00:12:40.37\00:12:46.85
which is without discretion.
00:12:46.89\00:12:49.07
the desire of the
righteous is only good:
00:12:49.11\00:12:52.34
but the expectation
of the wicked is wrath.
00:12:52.38\00:12:56.61
There is that
scattereth, and yet increaseth;
00:12:56.65\00:13:00.59
and there is that
withholdeth more than is meet,
00:13:00.62\00:13:04.53
but it tendeth to poverty.
00:13:04.57\00:13:06.30
The liberal soul shall be
made fat: and he that watereth
00:13:06.34\00:13:11.77
shall be watered also himself.
00:13:11.81\00:13:14.11
He that withholdeth corn,
the people shall curse him:
00:13:14.15\00:13:18.08
but blessing shall be upon
the head of him that selleth it.
00:13:18.12\00:13:21.58
He that diligently
seeketh good procureth favor:
00:13:21.61\00:13:26.80
but he that seeketh mischief,
it shall come unto him.
00:13:26.83\00:13:31.30
He that trusteth in his riches
shall fall: but the righteous
00:13:31.33\00:13:36.34
shall flourish as a branch.
00:13:36.38\00:13:37.76
He that troubleth his own
house shall inherit the wind:
00:13:37.79\00:13:41.21
and the fool shall be
servant to the wise of heart.
00:13:41.24\00:13:44.62
The fruit of the
righteous is a tree of life;
00:13:44.65\00:13:47.69
and he that
winneth souls is wise.
00:13:47.73\00:13:51.17
Behold, the righteous shall
be recompensed in the earth:
00:13:51.20\00:13:54.45
much more the
wicked and the sinner.
00:13:54.48\00:13:56.70
Proverbs 12.
00:13:56.73\00:13:58.75
Whoso loveth
instruction loveth knowledge:
00:13:58.79\00:14:02.43
but he that hateth
reproof is brutish.
00:14:02.46\00:14:05.92
A good man
obtaineth favor of the Lord:
00:14:05.95\00:14:09.34
but a man of wicked
devices will he condemn.
00:14:09.37\00:14:12.25
A man shall not be
established by wickedness:
00:14:12.29\00:14:15.44
but the root of the
righteous shall not be moved.
00:14:15.47\00:14:18.58
A virtuous woman is
a crown to her husband:
00:14:18.62\00:14:22.33
but she that maketh ashamed
is as rottenness in his bones.
00:14:22.36\00:14:27.03
The thoughts of the
righteous are right:
00:14:27.07\00:14:29.77
but the counsels of
the wicked are deceit.
00:14:29.81\00:14:32.45
The words of the wicked
are to lie in wait for blood:
00:14:32.48\00:14:35.46
but the mouth of the
upright shall deliver them.
00:14:35.50\00:14:38.24
