Hello and welcome back
to "His words are life."
00:00:15.88\00:00:18.26
I am Kelly Mowrer and today
00:00:18.27\00:00:20.20
we will continue to
read together in Proverbs.
00:00:20.21\00:00:22.72
But let's pray first.
00:00:22.73\00:00:24.09
Dear father thank you very much
00:00:24.10\00:00:27.03
that we can come and
sit here for few minutes
00:00:27.04\00:00:29.68
to hear your words.
00:00:29.69\00:00:31.27
Please send the
Holy Spirit to make
00:00:31.28\00:00:34.91
these words go
deep into our heart
00:00:34.92\00:00:36.76
and bear fruit to your glory,
00:00:36.77\00:00:38.39
may be not just hear them but,
00:00:38.40\00:00:39.83
may they be life
changing and they we be wiser.
00:00:39.84\00:00:42.81
Thank you for loving us
00:00:42.82\00:00:44.82
we love you so much, amen.
00:00:44.83\00:00:46.51
I'm reading in
Proverbs chapter 19
00:00:46.52\00:00:50.16
beginning with verse 28
00:00:50.17\00:00:52.07
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:52.08\00:00:53.58
An ungodly
witness scorneth judgment:
00:00:53.59\00:00:58.43
and the mouth of the
wicked devoureth iniquity.
00:00:58.44\00:01:01.47
Judgments are
prepared for scorners,
00:01:01.48\00:01:04.11
and stripes for
the back of fools.
00:01:04.12\00:01:07.06
Proverbs chapter
20, Wine is a mocker,
00:01:07.07\00:01:11.18
strong drink is raging:
00:01:11.19\00:01:13.34
and whosoever is deceived
00:01:13.35\00:01:14.77
thereby is not wise.
00:01:14.78\00:01:15.87
The fear of a king is
as the roaring of a lion:
00:01:15.88\00:01:19.28
whoso provoketh
him to anger sinneth
00:01:19.29\00:01:21.82
against his own soul.
00:01:21.83\00:01:22.89
It is an honour for a
man to cease from strife:
00:01:22.90\00:01:26.81
but every fool will be meddling.
00:01:26.82\00:01:29.07
The sluggard will not
plow by reason of the cold;
00:01:29.08\00:01:33.03
therefore shall
he beg in harvest,
00:01:33.04\00:01:35.77
and have nothing.
00:01:35.78\00:01:37.44
Counsel in the heart
of man is like deep water;
00:01:37.45\00:01:41.50
but a man of
understanding will draw it out.
00:01:41.51\00:01:44.93
Most men will proclaim every one
00:01:44.94\00:01:48.72
his own goodness:
00:01:48.73\00:01:49.76
but a faithful man who can find?
00:01:49.77\00:01:53.02
The just man
walketh in his integrity:
00:01:53.03\00:01:56.37
his children are
blessed after him.
00:01:56.38\00:01:58.36
A king that sitteth
in the throne of judgment
00:01:58.37\00:02:01.65
scattereth away
all evil with his eyes.
00:02:01.66\00:02:04.36
Who can say, I have
made my heart clean,
00:02:04.37\00:02:08.99
I am pure from my sin?
00:02:09.00\00:02:10.72
Divers weights,
and divers measures,
00:02:10.73\00:02:14.29
both of them are alike
abomination to the Lord.
00:02:14.30\00:02:17.10
Even a child is
known by his doings,
00:02:17.11\00:02:20.74
whether his work be pure,
00:02:20.75\00:02:22.83
and whether it be right.
00:02:22.84\00:02:24.08
The hearing ear,
and the seeing eye,
00:02:24.09\00:02:26.59
the Lord hath
made even both of them.
00:02:26.60\00:02:28.72
Love not sleep, lest
thou come to poverty;
00:02:28.73\00:02:32.75
open thine eyes,
00:02:32.76\00:02:34.48
and thou shalt be
satisfied with bread.
00:02:34.49\00:02:36.37
It is naught, it is
naught, saith the buyer:
00:02:36.38\00:02:40.35
but when he is gone his way,
00:02:40.36\00:02:42.52
then he boasteth.
00:02:42.53\00:02:43.80
There is gold, and
a multitude of rubies:
00:02:43.81\00:02:46.99
but the lips of
knowledge are a precious jewel.
00:02:47.00\00:02:50.49
Take his garment that
is surety for a stranger:
00:02:50.50\00:02:54.95
and take a pledge of
him for a strange woman.
00:02:54.96\00:02:57.48
Bread of deceit
is sweet to a man;
00:02:57.49\00:03:01.03
but afterwards his mouth
00:03:01.04\00:03:03.03
shall be filled with gravel.
00:03:03.04\00:03:04.64
Every purpose is
established by counsel:
00:03:04.65\00:03:08.75
and with good advice make war.
00:03:08.76\00:03:10.93
He that goeth
about as a talebearer
00:03:10.94\00:03:14.77
revealeth
secrets: therefore meddle
00:03:14.78\00:03:18.39
not with him that
flattereth with his lips.
00:03:18.40\00:03:21.25
Whoso curseth his
father or his mother,
00:03:21.26\00:03:24.64
his lamp shall be put
out in obscure darkness.
00:03:24.65\00:03:27.41
An inheritance
may be gotten hastily
00:03:27.42\00:03:31.12
at the beginning;
but the end thereof
00:03:31.13\00:03:32.83
shall not be
blessed. Say not thou,
00:03:32.84\00:03:36.72
I will recompense evil;
00:03:36.73\00:03:38.47
but wait on the Lord,
00:03:38.48\00:03:40.64
and he shall save thee.
00:03:40.65\00:03:42.00
Divers weights
are an abomination
00:03:42.01\00:03:45.05
unto the Lord; and a
false balance is not good.
00:03:45.06\00:03:47.77
Man's goings are of the Lord;
00:03:47.78\00:03:50.41
how can a man then
understand his own way?
00:03:50.42\00:03:53.84
It is a snare to
the man who devoureth
00:03:53.85\00:03:58.13
that which is holy,
00:03:58.14\00:03:59.67
and after vows to make enquiry.
00:03:59.68\00:04:01.82
A wise king
scattereth the wicked,
00:04:01.83\00:04:04.57
and bringeth
the wheel over them.
00:04:04.58\00:04:06.04
The spirit of man is
the candle of the Lord,
00:04:06.05\00:04:09.51
searching all the
inward parts of the belly.
00:04:09.52\00:04:11.71
Mercy and truth
preserve the king:
00:04:11.72\00:04:14.99
and his throne is
upholden by mercy.
00:04:15.00\00:04:18.24
The glory of young
men is their strength:
00:04:18.25\00:04:21.16
and the beauty of
old men is the grey head.
00:04:21.17\00:04:23.74
The blueness of a
wound cleanseth away evil:
00:04:23.75\00:04:28.35
so do stripes the
inward parts of the belly.
00:04:28.36\00:04:32.88
Reading in Proverbs chapter 21
00:04:32.89\00:04:36.28
and this is the
King James Version.
00:04:36.29\00:04:37.95
The king's heart is
in the hand of the LORD,
00:04:37.96\00:04:40.91
as the rivers of water:
00:04:40.92\00:04:42.61
he turneth it
whithersoever he will.
00:04:42.62\00:04:44.51
Every way of a man is
right in his own eyes:
00:04:44.52\00:04:48.29
but the Lord
pondereth the hearts.
00:04:48.30\00:04:51.12
To do justice and
judgment is more acceptable
00:04:51.13\00:04:55.91
to the Lord than sacrifice.
00:04:55.92\00:04:58.01
An high look, and a proud heart,
00:04:58.02\00:05:01.50
and the plowing of
the wicked, is sin.
00:05:01.51\00:05:04.18
The thoughts of
the diligent tend
00:05:04.19\00:05:07.16
only to plenteousness;
00:05:07.17\00:05:09.07
but of every one that
is hasty only to want.
00:05:09.08\00:05:13.76
The getting of
treasures by a lying tongue
00:05:13.77\00:05:17.92
is a vanity
tossed to and fro of them
00:05:17.93\00:05:20.74
that seek death. The
robbery of the wicked
00:05:20.75\00:05:23.70
shall destroy them;
00:05:23.71\00:05:24.74
because they
refuse to do judgment.
00:05:24.75\00:05:26.52
The way of man is
froward and strange:
00:05:26.53\00:05:29.97
but as for the
pure, his work is right.
00:05:29.98\00:05:31.34
It is better to dwell in
a corner of the housetop,
00:05:31.35\00:05:34.20
than with a brawling
woman in a wide house.
00:05:34.21\00:05:36.69
The soul of the
wicked desireth evil:
00:05:36.70\00:05:39.45
his neighbour findeth
no favour in his eyes.
00:05:39.46\00:05:42.44
When the scorner is punished,
00:05:42.45\00:05:44.71
the simple is made wise:
00:05:44.72\00:05:47.24
and when the wise is instructed,
00:05:47.25\00:05:49.40
he receiveth knowledge.
00:05:49.41\00:05:50.75
The righteous man
wisely considereth
00:05:50.76\00:05:53.75
the house of the wicked:
00:05:53.76\00:05:54.77
but God overthroweth
00:05:54.78\00:05:56.23
the wicked for their wickedness.
00:05:56.24\00:05:58.25
Whoso stoppeth his
ears at the cry of the poor,
00:05:58.26\00:06:01.90
he also shall cry himself,
00:06:01.91\00:06:03.25
but shall not be heard.
00:06:03.26\00:06:04.45
A gift in
secret pacifieth anger:
00:06:04.46\00:06:08.66
and a reward in
the bosom strong wrath.
00:06:08.67\00:06:11.52
It is joy to the
just to do judgment:
00:06:11.53\00:06:15.73
but destruction
shall be to the workers
00:06:15.74\00:06:18.96
of iniquity. The
man that wandereth out
00:06:18.97\00:06:22.00
of the way of
understanding shall remain
00:06:22.01\00:06:23.64
in the congregation of the dead.
00:06:23.65\00:06:25.29
He that loveth
pleasure shall be a poor man:
00:06:25.30\00:06:28.40
he that loveth wine
and oil shall not be rich.
00:06:28.41\00:06:32.11
The wicked shall be a
ransom for the righteous,
00:06:32.12\00:06:35.52
and the
transgressor for the upright.
00:06:35.53\00:06:37.18
It is better to
dwell in the wilderness,
00:06:37.19\00:06:40.02
than with a
contentious and an angry woman.
00:06:40.03\00:06:42.39
There is treasure
to be desired and oil
00:06:42.40\00:06:46.52
in the dwelling of the wise;
00:06:46.53\00:06:48.34
but a foolish
man spendeth it up.
00:06:48.35\00:06:50.89
He that followeth
after righteousness
00:06:50.90\00:06:54.67
and mercy findeth life,
righteousness, and honour.
00:06:54.68\00:06:59.11
A wise man scaleth
the city of the mighty,
00:06:59.12\00:07:02.48
and casteth down
the strength of the
00:07:02.49\00:07:04.56
confidence
thereof. Whoso keepeth
00:07:04.57\00:07:07.64
his mouth and his tongue keepeth
00:07:07.65\00:07:10.31
his soul from troubles.
00:07:10.32\00:07:12.03
Proud and haughty
scorner is his name,
00:07:12.04\00:07:15.89
who dealeth in proud wrath.
00:07:15.90\00:07:17.92
The desire of the
slothful killeth him;
00:07:17.93\00:07:21.40
for his hands refuse to labour.
00:07:21.41\00:07:22.97
He coveteth
greedily all the day long:
00:07:22.98\00:07:25.18
but the righteous
giveth and spareth not.
00:07:25.19\00:07:29.00
The sacrifice of the
wicked is abomination:
00:07:29.01\00:07:31.86
how much more,
00:07:31.87\00:07:33.24
when he bringeth
it with a wicked mind?
00:07:33.25\00:07:34.95
A false witness shall perish:
00:07:34.96\00:07:37.71
but the man that
heareth speaketh constantly.
00:07:37.72\00:07:40.47
A wicked man hardeneth his face:
00:07:40.48\00:07:43.36
but as for the
upright, he directeth his way.
00:07:43.37\00:07:45.83
There is no wisdom
nor understanding nor
00:07:45.84\00:07:50.30
counsel against the Lord.
00:07:50.31\00:07:52.28
The horse is prepared
against the day of battle:
00:07:52.29\00:07:55.72
but safety is of the Lord.
00:07:55.73\00:07:58.25
Proverbs chapter 22
00:07:58.26\00:08:01.03
and this is the
King James Version.
00:08:01.04\00:08:02.50
A good name is
rather to be chosen
00:08:02.51\00:08:06.02
than great riches,
00:08:06.03\00:08:07.04
and loving favour
rather than silver and gold.
00:08:07.05\00:08:11.29
The rich and poor meet together:
00:08:11.30\00:08:13.67
the Lord is the
maker of them all.
00:08:13.68\00:08:15.73
A prudent man
foreseeth the evil,
00:08:15.74\00:08:18.79
and hideth himself:
00:08:18.80\00:08:20.43
but the simple pass on,
00:08:20.44\00:08:22.38
and are punished.
00:08:22.39\00:08:24.22
By humility and the
fear of the Lord are riches,
00:08:24.23\00:08:28.05
and honour, and life.
00:08:28.06\00:08:29.98
Thorns and snares are
in the way of the froward:
00:08:29.99\00:08:33.04
he that doth keep his
soul shall be far from them.
00:08:33.05\00:08:36.78
Train up a child in
the way he should go:
00:08:36.79\00:08:40.11
and when he is old,
00:08:40.12\00:08:41.52
he will not depart from it.
00:08:41.53\00:08:43.05
The rich ruleth over the poor,
00:08:43.06\00:08:45.56
and the borrower is
servant to the lender.
00:08:45.57\00:08:49.23
He that soweth
iniquity shall reap vanity:
00:08:49.24\00:08:52.99
and the rod of
his anger shall fail.
00:08:53.00\00:08:55.11
He that hath a
bountiful eye shall be blessed;
00:08:55.12\00:08:59.66
for he giveth of
his bread to the poor.
00:08:59.67\00:09:02.43
Cast out the scorner,
00:09:02.44\00:09:04.67
and contention shall go out;
00:09:04.68\00:09:07.21
yea, strife and
reproach shall cease.
00:09:07.22\00:09:09.52
He that loveth
pureness of heart,
00:09:09.53\00:09:12.63
for the grace of his lips
00:09:12.64\00:09:14.36
the king shall be his friend.
00:09:14.37\00:09:15.99
The eyes of the
Lord preserve knowledge,
00:09:16.00\00:09:19.29
and he overthroweth the
words of the transgressor.
00:09:19.30\00:09:22.09
The slothful man saith,
There is a lion without,
00:09:22.10\00:09:25.49
I shall be slain in the streets.
00:09:25.50\00:09:26.98
The mouth of
strange women is a deep pit:
00:09:26.99\00:09:30.99
he that is abhorred of
the Lord shall fall therein.
00:09:31.00\00:09:34.81
Foolishness is bound
in the heart of a child;
00:09:34.82\00:09:38.10
but the rod of
correction shall drive it
00:09:38.11\00:09:40.35
far from him.
00:09:40.36\00:09:41.49
He that oppresseth
the poor to increase
00:09:41.50\00:09:44.40
his riches, and he
that giveth to the rich,
00:09:44.41\00:09:46.89
shall surely come to want.
00:09:46.90\00:09:48.42
Bow down thine ear,
00:09:48.43\00:09:50.62
and hear the words of the wise,
00:09:50.63\00:09:51.78
and apply thine
heart unto my knowledge.
00:09:51.79\00:09:54.14
For it is a pleasant thing
00:09:54.15\00:09:56.30
if thou keep them within thee;
00:09:56.31\00:09:57.79
they shall withal
be fitted in thy lips.
00:09:57.80\00:10:01.13
That thy trust
may be in the Lord,
00:10:01.14\00:10:03.85
I have made
known to thee this day,
00:10:03.86\00:10:05.90
even to thee.
00:10:05.91\00:10:07.09
Have not I written
to thee excellent things
00:10:07.10\00:10:10.07
in counsels and knowledge.
00:10:10.08\00:10:11.36
That I might make
thee know the certainty
00:10:11.37\00:10:14.08
of the words of truth;
00:10:14.09\00:10:15.32
that thou mightest
answer the words of truth
00:10:15.33\00:10:17.71
to them that send unto thee?
00:10:17.72\00:10:19.31
Rob not the poor,
00:10:19.32\00:10:21.25
because he is poor:
00:10:21.26\00:10:22.42
neither oppress the
afflicted in the gate:
00:10:22.43\00:10:25.42
For the Lord will
plead their cause,
00:10:25.43\00:10:27.24
and spoil the soul of
those that spoiled them.
00:10:27.25\00:10:30.21
Make no
friendship with an angry man;
00:10:30.22\00:10:33.72
and with a furious
man thou shalt not go:
00:10:33.73\00:10:35.57
Lest thou learn his ways,
00:10:35.58\00:10:37.52
and get a snare to thy soul.
00:10:37.53\00:10:39.25
Be not thou one of
them that strike hands,
00:10:39.26\00:10:42.99
or of them that
are sureties for debts.
00:10:43.00\00:10:45.74
If thou hast nothing to pay,
00:10:45.75\00:10:47.73
why should he take away thy bed
00:10:47.74\00:10:49.01
from under thee?
00:10:49.02\00:10:49.99
Remove not the ancient landmark,
00:10:50.00\00:10:52.48
which thy fathers have set.
00:10:52.49\00:10:54.08
Seest thou a man
diligent in his business?
00:10:54.09\00:10:58.06
He shall stand before kings;
00:10:58.07\00:11:00.90
he shall not
stand before mean men.
00:11:00.91\00:11:03.42
Proverbs chapter 23.
00:11:03.43\00:11:06.60
When thou sittest
to eat with a ruler,
00:11:06.61\00:11:10.07
consider diligently
what is before thee:
00:11:10.08\00:11:12.66
And put a knife to thy throat,
00:11:12.67\00:11:14.66
if thou be a man
given to appetite.
00:11:14.67\00:11:16.48
Be not desirous of his dainties:
00:11:16.49\00:11:19.41
for they are deceitful meat.
00:11:19.42\00:11:20.67
Labour not to be rich:
00:11:20.68\00:11:23.25
cease from thine own wisdom.
00:11:23.26\00:11:25.49
Wilt thou set
thine eyes upon that
00:11:25.50\00:11:28.59
which is not?
00:11:28.60\00:11:29.57
For riches certainly
make themselves wings;
00:11:29.58\00:11:33.28
they fly away as an
eagle toward heaven.
00:11:33.29\00:11:35.07
Eat thou not the bread of
him that hath an evil eye,
00:11:35.08\00:11:39.39
neither desire
thou his dainty meats:
00:11:39.40\00:11:42.66
For as he thinketh
in his heart, so is he:
00:11:42.67\00:11:45.58
Eat and drink, saith he to thee;
00:11:45.59\00:11:48.54
but his heart is not with thee.
00:11:48.55\00:11:50.76
The morsel which
thou hast eaten shalt
00:11:50.77\00:11:53.74
thou vomit up, and
lose thy sweet words.
00:11:53.75\00:11:56.44
Speak not in the ears of a fool:
00:11:56.45\00:11:59.43
for he will despise
the wisdom of thy words.
00:11:59.44\00:12:02.18
Remove not the old landmark;
00:12:02.19\00:12:04.14
and enter not into the
fields of the fatherless:
00:12:04.15\00:12:06.70
For their redeemer is mighty;
00:12:06.71\00:12:08.22
he shall plead
their cause with thee.
00:12:08.23\00:12:10.39
Apply thine
heart unto instruction,
00:12:10.40\00:12:13.94
and thine ears to
the words of knowledge.
00:12:13.95\00:12:16.08
Withhold not
correction from the child:
00:12:16.09\00:12:19.36
for if thou
beatest him with the rod,
00:12:19.37\00:12:21.31
he shall not die.
Thou shalt beat him
00:12:21.32\00:12:23.57
with the rod, and
shalt deliver his soul
00:12:23.58\00:12:25.52
from hell. My son,
if thine heart be wise,
00:12:25.53\00:12:29.54
my heart shall
rejoice, even mine.
00:12:29.55\00:12:32.25
Yea, my reins shall rejoice,
00:12:32.26\00:12:34.14
when thy lips
speak right things.
00:12:34.15\00:12:37.17
Let not thine
heart envy sinners:
00:12:37.18\00:12:40.82
but be thou in
the fear of the Lord
00:12:40.83\00:12:43.35
all the day long.
00:12:43.36\00:12:44.60
For surely there is an end;
00:12:44.61\00:12:46.72
and thine expectation
shall not be cut off.
00:12:46.73\00:12:49.27
Hear thou, my son, and be wise,
00:12:49.28\00:12:52.20
and guide thine
heart in the way.
00:12:52.21\00:12:53.73
Be not among winebibbers;
00:12:53.74\00:12:56.38
among riotous eaters of flesh:
00:12:56.39\00:12:58.71
For the drunkard and
the glutton shall come
00:12:58.72\00:13:00.93
to poverty: and
drowsiness shall clothe a man
00:13:00.94\00:13:04.41
with rags.
Hearken unto thy father
00:13:04.42\00:13:07.78
that begat thee, and
despise not thy mother
00:13:07.79\00:13:09.99
when she is old. Buy the truth,
00:13:10.00\00:13:12.42
and sell it not; also
wisdom, and instruction,
00:13:12.43\00:13:16.13
and understanding.
00:13:16.14\00:13:17.30
The father of the righteous
00:13:17.31\00:13:19.29
shall greatly
rejoice: and he that begetteth
00:13:19.30\00:13:22.46
a wise child
shall have joy of him.
00:13:22.47\00:13:24.61
Thy father and thy
mother shall be glad,
00:13:24.62\00:13:27.71
and she that bare
thee shall rejoice.
00:13:27.72\00:13:29.37
My son, give me thine heart,
00:13:29.38\00:13:32.35
and let thine
eyes observe my ways.
00:13:32.36\00:13:34.79
For a whore is a deep ditch;
00:13:34.80\00:13:37.90
and a strange
woman is a narrow pit.
00:13:37.91\00:13:39.76
She also lieth in
wait as for a prey,
00:13:39.77\00:13:42.60
and increaseth the
transgressors among men.
00:13:42.61\00:13:44.61
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow?
00:13:44.62\00:13:47.49
who hath
contentions? who hath babbling?
00:13:47.50\00:13:49.62
who hath wounds without cause?
00:13:49.63\00:13:51.50
who hath redness of eyes?
00:13:51.51\00:13:53.06
They that tarry
long at the wine;
00:13:53.07\00:13:56.06
they that go to seek mixed wine.
00:13:56.07\00:13:58.75
Look not thou upon
the wine when it is red,
00:13:58.76\00:14:02.26
when it giveth
his colour in the cup,
00:14:02.27\00:14:03.99
when it moveth itself aright.
00:14:04.00\00:14:05.11
At the last it
biteth like a serpent,
00:14:05.12\00:14:08.58
and stingeth like an adder.
00:14:08.59\00:14:10.48
Thine eyes shall
behold strange women,
00:14:10.49\00:14:12.94
and thine heart shall
utter perverse things.
00:14:12.95\00:14:15.07
Yea, thou shalt be
as he that lieth down
00:14:15.08\00:14:17.44
in the midst of the sea,
00:14:17.45\00:14:18.48
or as he that lieth
upon the top of a mast.
00:14:18.49\00:14:21.16
They have stricken
me, shalt thou say,
00:14:21.17\00:14:23.55
and I was not sick;
they have beaten me,
00:14:23.56\00:14:25.63
and I felt it not:
when shall I awake?
00:14:25.64\00:14:27.91
I will seek it yet again.
00:14:27.92\00:14:29.82
Thank you for
joining with me today
00:14:29.83\00:14:33.06
to read the
words of God and until
00:14:33.07\00:14:35.22
we need again may
He keep each one of us
00:14:35.23\00:14:37.16
in His care and
His glory, good bye.
00:14:37.17\00:14:39.58
