Tainted wealth has no lasting value, but right living can save your life. 00:00:22.117 --> 00:00:26.287 The Lord will not let the godly go hungry, but he refuses to 00:00:26.287 --> 00:00:28.267 satisfy the craving of the wicked. 00:00:29.467 --> 00:00:33.577 Lazy people are soon Poor hard workers get rich. 00:00:34.627 --> 00:00:38.467 A wise youth harvests in the summer, but one who sleeps

00:01:29.467 --> 00:01:34.537 Wise words come from the lips of people with understanding, but those lacking 00:01:34.537 --> 00:01:36.607 sense will be beaten with a rod. 00:01:37.807 --> 00:01:43.177

the Godly will be granted. 00:02:51.697 --> 00:02:56.197 When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away, but the 00:02:56.202 --> 00:02:58.507 Godly have a lasting foundation. 00:02:59.707 --> 00:03:05.377 Lazy people irritate their employers like vinegar to the teeth or smoke in the eyes. 00:03:06.547 --> 00:03:11.647 Fear of the Lord lengthens one's life, but the years of the wicked

will be removed from the land. 00:03:32.842 --> 00:03:36.712 The mouth of the godly person gives wise advice, but the tongue 00:03:36.712 --> 00:03:38.812 that deceives will be cut off. 00:03:39.997 --> 00:03:44.047 The lips of the Godly speak helpful words, but the mouth of 00:03:44.047 --> 00:03:46.147 the wicked speaks perverse words. 00:03:47.197 --> 00:03:51.307 The Lord detests the use of dishonest scales, but he 00:03:51.307 --> 00:03:53.077 delights in accurate weights. 00:03:54.127 --> 00:03:58.117 Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. 00:03:59.257 -->

00:04:18.517 --> 00:04:21.367 The godliness of good people rescues them. 00:04:22.117 --> 00:04:24.847 The ambition of treacherous people traps them. 00:04:25.927 --> 00:04:30.517 When the wicked die, their hopes die with them, for they rely 00:04:30.517 --> 00:04:32.197 on their own feeble strength. 00:04:33.457 --> 00:04:37.087 The Godly are rescued from trouble and it falls on the wicked. 00:04:37.087 --> 00:04:43.057 Instead with their words, the godless destroy their friends, but 00:04:43.057 --> 00:04:45.097 knowledge will rescue the righteous. 00:04:46.207 --> 00:04:49.207 The whole city celebrates when the Godly succeed. 00:04:49.627 --> 00:04:51.997 They shout for joy when the wicked die. 00:04:53.167 --> 00:04:57.517 Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper, but the 00:04:57.522 --> 00:04:59.677 talk of the wicked tears it apart. 00:05:00.817 --> 00:05:03.067 It is foolish to belittle one's neighbor. 00:05:03.487 --> 00:05:05.407 A sensible person keeps quiet. 00:05:06.547 --> 00:05:10.267 A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are 00:05:10.267 --> 00:05:12.427 trustworthy can keep a confidence. 00:05:13.597 --> 00:05:16.537

debt. 00:05:24.427 --> 00:05:27.487 It's safer not to guarantee another person's debt. 00:05:28.567 --> 00:05:33.937 A gracious woman gains respect, but ruthless men gain only wealth. 00:05:35.047 --> 00:05:39.547 Your kindness will reward you, but your cruelty will destroy you. 00:05:40.717 --> 00:05:45.697 Evil people get rich for the moment, but the reward of the Godly will last. 00:05:46.807 --> 00:05:49.357 Godly people find life evil. 00:05:49.357 --> 00:05:50.737 People find death. 00:05:51.907 --> 00:05:55.777 The Lord detests people with crooked hearts, but he delights 00:05:55.777 --> 00:05:57.097 in those with integrity. 00:05:58.252 --> 00:06:03.562 Evil people will surely be punished, but the children of the Godly will go free. 00:06:04.762 --> 00:06:10.462 A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig's snout, 00:06:11.572 --> 00:06:13.912 the Godly can look forward to a reward. 00:06:14.332 --> 00:06:19.552 While the wicked can expect only judgment, give freely and become 00:06:19.552 --> 00:06:25.732 more wealthy, be stingy and lose everything, the generous will prosper. 00:06:26.242 --> 00:06:29.662 Those who refresh, others will themselves be refreshed. 00:06:30.712 --> 00:06:34.342 People curse those who hoard their grain, but they bless the 00:06:34.342 --> 00:06:36.202 one who sells in time of need. 00:06:37.222 --> 00:06:41.392 If you search for good, you will find favor, but if you search 00:06:41.392 --> 00:06:46.702 for evil, it will find you trust in your money and down you go. 00:06:47.212 --> 00:06:52.282 But the Godly flourish like leaves in spring, those who bring trouble 00:06:52.282 --> 00:06:54.172 on their families inherit the wind. 00:06:54.682 --> 00:06:56.992 The fool will be a servant to the wise. 00:06:58.132 --> 00:07:01.072 The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life. 00:07:01.372 --> 00:07:03.382 A wise person wins friends. 00:07:04.552 --> 00:07:07.282 If the righteous are rewarded here on earth. 00:07:07.942 --> 00:07:09.802 What will happen to wicked sinners? 00:07:09.802 --> 00:07:13.582 The to learn you must love discipline. 00:07:13.912 --> 00:07:15.862 It is stupid to hate correction. 00:07:17.002 --> 00:07:21.772 The Lord approves of those who are good, but he condemns those who plan wickedness. 00:07:23.122 --> 00:07:27.862 Wickedness never brings stability, but the

00:07:49.342 words of the Godly save lives. 00:07:50.362 --> 00:07:55.312 The wicked die and disappear, but the family of the Godly stands firm. 00:07:56.362 --> 00:08:01.402 A sensible person wins admiration, but a warped mind is despised. 00:08:02.422 --> 00:08:05.782 Better to be an ordinary person with a servant than to be 00:08:05.787 --> 00:08:08.062 self-important, but have no food. 00:08:08.062 --> 00:08:13.582 The Godly care for their animals, but the wicked are always cruel. 00:08:14.917 --> 00:08:20.167 A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies has no sense. 00:08:21.307 --> 00:08:24.457 Thieves are jealous of each other's loot, but the Godly are 00:08:24.457 --> 00:08:26.737 well-rooted and bear their own fruit. 00:08:27.847 --> 00:08:32.197

of the wise bring healing truth. 00:09:04.552 --> 00:09:09.172 Words stand the test of time, but lies are soon exposed. 00:09:10.342 --> 00:09:12.952 Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil.

disgrace. 00:12:08.542 --> 00:12:11.092 If you accept correction, you will be honored. 00:12:12.172 --> 00:12:17.002 It is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools refuse to turn from 00:12:17.032 --> 00:12:23.632 evil, to attain them, walk with the wise, and become wise, associate 00:12:23.632 --> 00:12:25.372 with fools and get in trouble. 00:12:26.482 --> 00:12:30.682 Trouble chases sinners

reconciliation. 00:13:56.962 --> 00:14:02.602 Each heart knows its own bitterness and no one else can fully share its joy. 00:14:02.842 --> 00:14:06.392 The This concludes today's immerse reading
