Hello, and welcome
to "His Words are Life."
00:00:14.35\00:00:16.48
I am Kelly Mower and today
00:00:16.49\00:00:18.16
we're going to be reading
00:00:18.17\00:00:19.14
from the Book of Proverbs,
00:00:19.15\00:00:20.29
but before we start
let's pray together.
00:00:20.30\00:00:22.50
Dear God thank you so much
00:00:22.51\00:00:25.48
for the words of wisdom
that we will hear today.
00:00:25.49\00:00:29.27
Please quiet the
noise of anything else
00:00:29.28\00:00:33.66
in our thoughts that
would be a distraction
00:00:33.67\00:00:36.06
to us hearing what
you have for each of us
00:00:36.07\00:00:39.02
in these words.
00:00:39.03\00:00:40.11
Thank you for hearing this pray;
00:00:40.12\00:00:42.21
I pray it in
your Son's name, amen.
00:00:42.22\00:00:44.63
I'm reading from
Proverbs chapter 12
00:00:46.02\00:00:48.90
beginning with verse 7
00:00:48.91\00:00:50.97
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:50.98\00:00:52.86
The wicked are
overthrown, and are not:
00:00:52.87\00:00:56.80
but the house of the
righteous shall stand.
00:00:56.81\00:00:59.58
A man shall be
commended according
00:00:59.59\00:01:02.42
to his wisdom: but he that
00:01:02.43\00:01:04.29
is of a perverse
heart shall be despised.
00:01:04.30\00:01:08.18
He that is
despised, and hath a servant,
00:01:08.19\00:01:10.94
is better than he
that honoureth himself,
00:01:10.95\00:01:12.79
and lacketh bread.
00:01:12.80\00:01:13.77
A righteous man regardeth
00:01:13.78\00:01:16.36
the life of his beast:
00:01:16.37\00:01:17.89
but the tender mercies
of the wicked are cruel.
00:01:17.90\00:01:20.89
He that tilleth his
land shall be satisfied
00:01:20.90\00:01:24.73
with bread: but
he that followeth
00:01:24.74\00:01:27.06
vain persons is
void of understanding.
00:01:27.07\00:01:30.18
The wicked desireth
the net of evil men:
00:01:30.19\00:01:34.45
but the root of the
righteous yieldeth fruit.
00:01:34.46\00:01:37.81
The wicked is
snared by the transgression
00:01:37.82\00:01:41.17
of his lips: but the just
shall come out of trouble.
00:01:41.18\00:01:45.56
A man shall be
satisfied with good
00:01:45.57\00:01:48.49
by the fruit of his mouth:
00:01:48.50\00:01:50.20
and the
recompence of a man's hands
00:01:50.21\00:01:52.83
shall be rendered unto him.
00:01:52.84\00:01:53.93
The way of a fool is
right in his own eyes:
00:01:53.94\00:01:56.83
but he that
hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
00:01:56.84\00:02:00.61
A fool's wrath
is presently known:
00:02:00.62\00:02:03.83
but a prudent
man covereth shame.
00:02:03.84\00:02:06.82
He that speaketh truth sheweth
00:02:06.83\00:02:09.87
forth righteousness:
00:02:09.88\00:02:11.01
but a false witness deceit.
00:02:11.02\00:02:14.26
There is that
speaketh like the piercings
00:02:14.27\00:02:19.02
of a sword: but the tongue
00:02:19.03\00:02:21.14
of the wise is health.
00:02:21.15\00:02:23.13
The lip of truth shall
be established for ever:
00:02:23.14\00:02:27.57
but a lying tongue
is but for a moment.
00:02:27.58\00:02:31.11
Deceit is in the heart
of them that imagine evil:
00:02:31.12\00:02:34.47
but to the
counsellors of peace is joy.
00:02:34.48\00:02:37.63
There shall no
evil happen to the just:
00:02:37.64\00:02:42.03
but the wicked shall
be filled with mischief.
00:02:42.04\00:02:44.32
Lying lips are
abomination to the LORD:
00:02:44.33\00:02:48.06
but they that deal
truly are his delight.
00:02:48.07\00:02:50.29
A prudent man
concealeth knowledge:
00:02:50.30\00:02:54.27
but the heart of fools
proclaimeth foolishness.
00:02:54.28\00:02:57.79
The hand of the
diligent shall bear rule:
00:02:57.80\00:03:02.10
but the slothful
shall be under tribute.
00:03:02.11\00:03:05.47
Heaviness in the heart
of man maketh it stoop:
00:03:05.48\00:03:11.51
but a good word maketh it glad.
00:03:11.52\00:03:14.56
The righteous is more excellent
00:03:14.57\00:03:17.86
than his neighbour:
00:03:17.87\00:03:18.84
but the way of the
wicked seduceth them.
00:03:18.85\00:03:21.08
The slothful man
roasteth not that
00:03:21.09\00:03:24.61
which he took in hunting:
00:03:24.62\00:03:25.90
but the substance of a
diligent man is precious.
00:03:25.91\00:03:29.54
In the way of
righteousness is life:
00:03:29.55\00:03:33.57
and in the pathway
thereof there is no death.
00:03:33.58\00:03:37.54
Proverbs chapter 13,
00:03:37.55\00:03:40.34
and this is the
King James Version.
00:03:40.35\00:03:41.77
A wise son heareth
his father's instruction:
00:03:41.78\00:03:45.97
but a scorner
heareth not rebuke.
00:03:45.98\00:03:49.42
A man shall eat good
by the fruit of his mouth:
00:03:49.43\00:03:53.84
but the soul of
the transgressors
00:03:53.85\00:03:56.80
shall eat violence.
00:03:56.81\00:03:58.43
He that keepeth his
mouth keepeth his life:
00:03:58.44\00:04:03.81
but he that
openeth wide his lips
00:04:03.82\00:04:06.00
shall have destruction.
00:04:06.01\00:04:07.21
The soul of the
sluggard desireth,
00:04:07.22\00:04:09.74
and hath nothing:
00:04:09.75\00:04:10.72
but the soul of the diligent
00:04:10.73\00:04:12.29
shall be made fat.
00:04:12.30\00:04:13.43
A righteous man hateth lying:
00:04:13.44\00:04:16.49
but a wicked man is loathsome,
00:04:16.50\00:04:18.71
and cometh to shame.
00:04:18.72\00:04:19.80
Righteousness
keepeth him that is upright
00:04:19.81\00:04:23.27
in the way: but wickedness
00:04:23.28\00:04:25.10
overthroweth the sinner.
00:04:25.11\00:04:26.93
There is that
maketh himself rich,
00:04:26.94\00:04:31.72
yet hath nothing:
00:04:31.73\00:04:32.70
there is that
maketh himself poor,
00:04:32.71\00:04:36.33
yet hath great riches.
00:04:36.34\00:04:38.12
The ransom of a
man's life are his riches:
00:04:38.13\00:04:41.83
but the poor heareth not rebuke.
00:04:41.84\00:04:43.51
The light of the
righteous rejoiceth:
00:04:43.52\00:04:46.64
but the lamp of the
wicked shall be put out.
00:04:46.65\00:04:48.82
Only by pride cometh contention:
00:04:48.83\00:04:53.74
but with the well
advised is wisdom.
00:04:53.75\00:04:57.34
Wealth gotten by
vanity shall be diminished:
00:04:57.35\00:05:01.53
but he that gathereth
by labour shall increase.
00:05:01.54\00:05:04.68
Hope deferred
maketh the heart sick:
00:05:04.69\00:05:09.60
but when the desire
cometh, it is a tree of life.
00:05:09.61\00:05:14.02
Whoso despiseth the
word shall be destroyed:
00:05:14.03\00:05:18.48
but he that
feareth the commandment
00:05:18.49\00:05:20.11
shall be rewarded.
00:05:20.12\00:05:21.38
The law of the wise
is a fountain of life,
00:05:21.39\00:05:25.13
to depart from
the snares of death.
00:05:25.14\00:05:27.42
Good
understanding giveth favour:
00:05:27.43\00:05:29.82
but the way of
transgressors is hard.
00:05:29.83\00:05:32.47
Every prudent man
dealeth with knowledge:
00:05:32.48\00:05:36.47
but a fool
layeth open his folly.
00:05:36.48\00:05:39.08
A wicked messenger
falleth into mischief:
00:05:39.09\00:05:42.56
but a faithful
ambassador is health.
00:05:42.57\00:05:45.21
Poverty and shame
shall be to him that refuseth
00:05:45.22\00:05:48.94
instruction: but
he that regardeth
00:05:48.95\00:05:51.03
reproof shall be honoured.
00:05:51.04\00:05:52.74
The desire accomplished
is sweet to the soul:
00:05:52.75\00:05:56.89
but it is abomination to
fools to depart from evil.
00:05:56.90\00:06:00.96
He that walketh with
wise men shall be wise:
00:06:00.97\00:06:05.58
but a companion of
fools shall be destroyed.
00:06:05.59\00:06:10.03
Evil pursueth sinners:
00:06:10.04\00:06:13.02
but to the righteous
good shall be repayed.
00:06:13.03\00:06:17.12
A good man
leaveth an inheritance
00:06:17.13\00:06:20.18
to his children's children:
00:06:20.19\00:06:22.01
and the wealth of the sinners
00:06:22.02\00:06:23.97
is laid up for the just.
00:06:23.98\00:06:25.57
Much food is in the
tillage of the poor:
00:06:25.58\00:06:29.24
but there is that is destroyed
00:06:29.25\00:06:31.54
for want of judgment.
00:06:31.55\00:06:32.77
He that spareth
his rod hateth his son:
00:06:32.78\00:06:37.05
but he that loveth him
chasteneth him betimes.
00:06:37.06\00:06:41.62
The righteous eateth to
the satisfying of his soul:
00:06:41.63\00:06:45.95
but the belly of
the wicked shall want.
00:06:45.96\00:06:49.53
Proverbs chapter 14,
00:06:49.54\00:06:53.59
and this is the
King James Version.
00:06:53.60\00:06:55.36
Every wise woman
buildeth her house:
00:06:55.37\00:06:59.33
but the foolish
plucketh it down with her hands.
00:06:59.34\00:07:03.58
He that walketh
in his uprightness
00:07:03.59\00:07:06.16
feareth the LORD:
but he that is perverse
00:07:06.17\00:07:08.05
in his ways despiseth him.
00:07:08.06\00:07:09.60
In the mouth of the
foolish is a rod of pride:
00:07:09.61\00:07:13.89
but the lips of the
wise shall preserve them.
00:07:13.90\00:07:16.95
Where no oxen
are, the crib is clean:
00:07:16.96\00:07:21.44
but much increase is
by the strength of the ox.
00:07:21.45\00:07:26.44
A faithful witness will not lie:
00:07:26.45\00:07:29.88
but a false
witness will utter lies.
00:07:29.89\00:07:31.95
A scorner seeketh wisdom,
00:07:31.96\00:07:34.60
and findeth it not:
00:07:34.61\00:07:35.77
but knowledge is easy
unto him that understandeth.
00:07:35.78\00:07:39.97
Go from the
presence of a foolish man,
00:07:39.98\00:07:43.63
when thou perceivest
00:07:43.64\00:07:45.15
not in him the
lips of knowledge.
00:07:45.16\00:07:47.41
The wisdom of the prudent
is to understand his way:
00:07:47.42\00:07:51.79
but the folly
of fools is deceit.
00:07:51.80\00:07:54.96
Fools make a mock at sin:
00:07:54.97\00:07:57.82
but among the
righteous there is favour.
00:07:57.83\00:08:01.02
The heart knoweth
his own bitterness;
00:08:01.03\00:08:05.11
and a stranger doth not
intermeddle with his joy.
00:08:05.12\00:08:08.77
The house of the
wicked shall be overthrown:
00:08:08.78\00:08:12.66
but the tabernacle of
the upright shall flourish.
00:08:12.67\00:08:16.27
There is a way which
seemeth right unto a man,
00:08:16.28\00:08:21.92
but the end thereof
are the ways of death.
00:08:21.93\00:08:25.59
Even in laughter
the heart is sorrowful;
00:08:25.60\00:08:29.37
and the end of
that mirth is heaviness.
00:08:29.38\00:08:32.06
The backslider in
heart shall be filled
00:08:32.07\00:08:34.59
with his own ways:
00:08:34.60\00:08:35.57
and a good man shall
be satisfied from himself.
00:08:35.58\00:08:38.29
The simple believeth every word:
00:08:38.30\00:08:42.16
but the prudent man
looketh well to his going.
00:08:42.17\00:08:45.49
A wise man feareth,
and departeth from evil:
00:08:45.50\00:08:48.95
but the fool
rageth, and is confident.
00:08:48.96\00:08:51.97
He that is soon
angry dealeth foolishly:
00:08:51.98\00:08:56.75
and a man of
wicked devices is hated.
00:08:56.76\00:09:00.01
The simple inherit folly:
00:09:00.02\00:09:02.68
but the prudent are
crowned with knowledge.
00:09:02.69\00:09:05.02
The evil bow before the good;
00:09:05.03\00:09:07.56
and the wicked at the
gates of the righteous.
00:09:07.57\00:09:09.28
The poor is hated
even of his own neighbour:
00:09:09.29\00:09:13.32
but the rich hath many friends.
00:09:13.33\00:09:15.25
He that despiseth
his neighbour sinneth:
00:09:15.26\00:09:18.55
but he that hath mercy
on the poor, happy is he.
00:09:18.56\00:09:21.67
Do they not err
that devise evil?
00:09:21.68\00:09:25.43
But mercy and
truth shall be to them
00:09:25.44\00:09:28.31
that devise good.
00:09:28.32\00:09:29.96
In all labour there is profit:
00:09:29.97\00:09:33.39
but the talk of the
lips tendeth only to penury.
00:09:33.40\00:09:37.78
The crown of the
wise is their riches:
00:09:37.79\00:09:41.04
but the
foolishness of fools is folly.
00:09:41.05\00:09:43.91
A true witness delivereth souls:
00:09:43.92\00:09:48.20
but a deceitful
witness speaketh lies.
00:09:48.21\00:09:51.22
In the fear of the
LORD is strong confidence:
00:09:51.23\00:09:55.71
and his children shall
have a place of refuge.
00:09:55.72\00:09:58.96
The fear of the LORD
is a fountain of life,
00:09:58.97\00:10:01.47
to depart from
the snares of death.
00:10:01.48\00:10:03.73
In the multitude of
people is the king's honour:
00:10:03.74\00:10:07.11
but in the want of people
00:10:07.12\00:10:08.40
is the
destruction of the prince.
00:10:08.41\00:10:11.38
He that is slow to wrath
is of great understanding:
00:10:11.39\00:10:16.91
but he that is hasty
of spirit exalteth folly.
00:10:16.92\00:10:21.09
A sound heart is
the life of the flesh:
00:10:21.10\00:10:24.53
but envy the
rottenness of the bones.
00:10:24.54\00:10:27.14
He that oppresseth the poor
00:10:27.15\00:10:28.60
reproacheth his Maker:
00:10:28.61\00:10:29.78
but he that honoureth
him hath mercy on the poor.
00:10:29.79\00:10:33.33
The wicked is driven
away in his wickedness:
00:10:33.34\00:10:36.07
but the righteous
hath hope in his death.
00:10:36.08\00:10:39.04
Wisdom resteth
in the heart of him
00:10:39.05\00:10:42.02
that hath understanding:
00:10:42.03\00:10:43.29
but that which is
in the midst of fools
00:10:43.30\00:10:46.24
is made known.
00:10:46.25\00:10:47.64
Righteousness exalteth a nation:
00:10:47.65\00:10:50.80
but sin is a
reproach to any people.
00:10:50.81\00:10:54.42
The king's favour is
toward a wise servant:
00:10:54.43\00:10:58.29
but his wrath is
against him that causeth shame.
00:10:58.30\00:11:02.70
Proverbs chapter 15,
00:11:02.71\00:11:05.68
this is the King James Version.
00:11:05.69\00:11:07.29
A soft answer
turneth away wrath:
00:11:07.30\00:11:11.29
but grievous
words stir up anger.
00:11:11.30\00:11:14.35
The tongue of the wise
useth knowledge aright:
00:11:14.36\00:11:18.62
but the mouth of fools
poureth out foolishness.
00:11:18.63\00:11:21.68
The eyes of the
LORD are in every place,
00:11:21.69\00:11:25.05
beholding the evil and the good.
00:11:25.06\00:11:27.75
A wholesome
tongue is a tree of life:
00:11:27.76\00:11:30.81
but perverseness therein
00:11:30.82\00:11:33.01
is a breach in the spirit.
00:11:33.02\00:11:34.44
A fool despiseth his
father's instruction:
00:11:34.45\00:11:38.60
but he that
regardeth reproof is prudent.
00:11:38.61\00:11:41.85
In the house of the righteous
00:11:41.86\00:11:44.38
is much treasure:
00:11:44.39\00:11:46.09
but in the revenues
of the wicked is trouble.
00:11:46.10\00:11:49.65
The lips of the
wise disperse knowledge:
00:11:49.66\00:11:52.89
but the heart of the
foolish doeth not so.
00:11:52.90\00:11:55.82
The sacrifice of the
wicked is an abomination
00:11:55.83\00:11:58.89
to the LORD: but the
prayer of the upright
00:11:58.90\00:12:00.85
is his delight.
The way of the wicked
00:12:00.86\00:12:04.08
is an abomination unto the LORD:
00:12:04.09\00:12:05.65
but he loveth him that followeth
00:12:05.66\00:12:07.36
after righteousness.
00:12:07.37\00:12:08.66
Correction is grievous unto him
00:12:08.67\00:12:12.07
that forsaketh the way:
00:12:12.08\00:12:13.32
and he that
hateth reproof shall die.
00:12:13.33\00:12:15.40
Hell and
destruction are before the LORD:
00:12:15.41\00:12:18.38
how much more then the hearts
00:12:18.39\00:12:20.35
of the children of men?
00:12:20.36\00:12:21.50
A scorner loveth not
one that reproveth him:
00:12:21.51\00:12:25.24
neither will he
go unto the wise.
00:12:25.25\00:12:27.58
A merry heart maketh
a cheerful countenance:
00:12:27.59\00:12:30.64
but by sorrow of the heart
00:12:30.65\00:12:32.77
the spirit is broken.
00:12:32.78\00:12:33.92
The heart of him
that hath understanding
00:12:33.93\00:12:37.24
seeketh knowledge:
but the mouth of fools
00:12:37.25\00:12:40.72
feedeth on foolishness.
00:12:40.73\00:12:42.50
All the days of
the afflicted are evil:
00:12:42.51\00:12:46.54
but he that is of a merry heart
00:12:46.55\00:12:49.77
hath a continual feast.
00:12:49.78\00:12:52.20
Better is little
with the fear of the LORD
00:12:52.21\00:12:55.69
than great treasure
and trouble therewith.
00:12:55.70\00:12:58.83
Better is a dinner
of herbs where love is,
00:12:58.84\00:13:01.61
than a stalled ox
and hatred therewith.
00:13:01.62\00:13:04.84
A wrathful man
stirreth up strife:
00:13:04.85\00:13:08.52
but he that is slow to
anger appeaseth strife.
00:13:08.53\00:13:13.07
The way of the slothful man
00:13:13.08\00:13:15.62
is as an hedge of thorns:
00:13:15.63\00:13:17.81
but the way of the
righteous is made plain.
00:13:17.82\00:13:20.37
A wise son maketh a glad father:
00:13:20.38\00:13:23.90
but a foolish man
despiseth his mother.
00:13:23.91\00:13:26.79
Folly is joy to him
that is destitute of wisdom:
00:13:26.80\00:13:29.95
but a man of understanding
00:13:29.96\00:13:32.31
walketh uprightly.
00:13:32.32\00:13:33.57
Without counsel
purposes are disappointed:
00:13:33.58\00:13:37.88
but in the
multitude of counsellors
00:13:37.89\00:13:40.55
they are established.
00:13:40.56\00:13:42.52
A man hath joy by
the answer of his mouth:
00:13:42.53\00:13:46.76
and a word spoken in due season,
00:13:46.77\00:13:48.82
how good is it!
00:13:48.83\00:13:50.21
The way of life
is above to the wise,
00:13:50.22\00:13:54.17
that he may
depart from hell beneath.
00:13:54.18\00:13:56.62
The LORD will destroy
the house of the proud:
00:13:56.63\00:14:01.05
but he will establish
the border of the widow.
00:14:01.06\00:14:04.33
The thoughts of the
wicked are an abomination
00:14:04.34\00:14:07.12
to the LORD: but the words
00:14:07.13\00:14:08.32
of the pure are pleasant words.
00:14:08.33\00:14:10.69
He that is greedy of
gain troubleth his own house;
00:14:10.70\00:14:14.88
but he that
hateth gifts shall live.
00:14:14.89\00:14:17.10
The heart of the
righteous studieth to answer:
00:14:17.11\00:14:21.45
but the mouth of the wicked
00:14:21.46\00:14:22.92
poureth out evil things.
00:14:22.93\00:14:25.36
The LORD is far from the wicked:
00:14:25.37\00:14:27.49
but he heareth the
prayer of the righteous.
00:14:27.50\00:14:29.67
The light of the
eyes rejoiceth the heart:
00:14:29.68\00:14:33.19
and a good report maketh
00:14:33.20\00:14:35.84
the bones fat. Goodbye.
