mouth 00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.209 of a fool belches out foolishness. 00:02:59.289 --> 00:03:01.539 The Lord is watching everywhere. 00:03:02.049 --> 00:03:05.019 Keeping his eye on both the evil and

continual feast. 00:04:28.014 --> 00:04:31.944 Better to have little with fear for the Lord than to have great 00:04:31.944 --> 00:04:34.014 treasure and inner turmoil. 00:04:35.184 --> 00:04:38.784 A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than 00:04:38.784 --> 00:04:40.524 steak with someone you hate. 00:04:41.814 --> 00:04:44.244 A hot tempered person starts fights. 00:04:44.814 -->

00:05:12.624 --> 00:05:14.664 Many advisors bring success. 00:05:15.804 --> 00:05:17.814 Everyone enjoys a fitting reply. 00:05:18.204 --> 00:05:21.444 It is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time. 00:05:22.674 --> 00:05:25.584 The path of life leads upward for the wise. 00:05:26.004 --> 00:05:29.574 They leave the grave behind The Lord. 00:05:29.574 --> 00:05:34.314 Tears down the house of the proud, but he protects the property of widows. 00:05:35.409 --> 00:05:39.789 The Lord detests evil plans, but he delights in pure words. 00:05:40.809 --> 00:05:46.149 Greed brings grief to the whole family, but those who hate bribes will live. 00:05:47.229 --> 00:05:51.849 The heart of the Godly thinks carefully before speaking, the mouth of the 00:05:51.849 --> 00:05:54.219 wicked overflows with evil words. 00:05:55.299 --> 00:06:00.009 The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayers of the righteous. 00:06:01.554 --> 00:06:04.074 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart. 00:06:04.254 --> 00:06:06.144 Good news makes for good health. 00:06:07.254 --> 00:06:11.844 If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise. 00:06:12.954 --> 00:06:16.194 If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself. 00:06:16.704 --> 00:06:20.754 But if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding. 00:06:21.774 --> 00:06:26.124 Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom, humility precedes honor. 00:06:27.144 --> 00:06:31.134 We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer. 00:06:32.334 --> 00:06:37.404 People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives. 00:06:38.424 --> 00:06:42.294 Commit your actions to the Lord and your plans will succeed. 00:06:42.684 --> 00:06:47.244 The Lord has made everything for his own purposes, even the 00:06:47.244 --> 00:06:49.134 wicked for a day of disaster. 00:06:50.334 --> 00:06:52.104 The Lord detests the proud. 00:06:52.584 --> 00:06:54.534 They will surely be punished. 00:06:55.674 --> 00:07:01.854 Unfailing love and faithfulness make atonement for sin by fearing the Lord. 00:07:02.274 --> 00:07:06.174 People avoid evil when people's lives. 00:07:06.174 --> 00:07:09.714 Please the Lord, even their enemies are at peace with them. 00:07:10.914 --> 00:07:15.774 Better to have little with godliness than to be rich and dishonest. 00:07:16.884 --> 00:07:21.084 We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. 00:07:22.359 --> 00:07:24.669 The king speaks with divine wisdom. 00:07:25.089 --> 00:07:27.489 He must never judge unfairly. 00:07:28.689 --> 00:07:31.869 The Lord demands accurate scales and balances. 00:07:32.289 --> 00:07:34.629 He sets the standards for fairness. 00:07:35.769 --> 00:07:40.239 A king detests wrongdoing for his rule is

anger of the king is a deadly threat. 00:07:50.889 --> 00:07:52.659 The wise will try to appease it. 00:07:53.859 --> 00:07:59.859 When the King smiles, there is life, his favor refreshes like a spring reign. 00:08:00.969 --> 00:08:06.639 How much better to get wisdom than gold and good judgment than silver? 00:08:06.999 --> 00:08:10.809 The path of the virtuous leads away from evil. 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.329 Whoever follows that path is safe. 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:19.059 Pride goes before destruction and haughtiness before a fall. 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.669 Better to live humbly with the poor than to share plunder with the proud. 00:08:25.809 --> 00:08:28.509 Those who listen to instruction will prosper. 00:08:28.989 --> 00:08:31.659 Those who trust the Lord will be joyful. 00:08:32.769 --> 00:08:36.759 The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.349 words are persuasive. 00:08:39.429 --> 00:08:42.969 Discretion is a life-giving fountain to those who possess it, 00:08:43.539 --> 00:08:45.729 but discipline is wasted on fools. 00:08:46.749 --> 00:08:49.419 From a Wise mind comes wise speech. 00:08:49.719 --> 00:08:56.469 The words of the wise are persuasive kind words are like honey, sweet to 00:08:56.469 --> 00:08:58.719 the soul, and healthy for the body. 00:08:59.829 --> 00:09:05.259 There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. 00:09:06.249 --> 00:09:10.359 It is good for workers to have an appetite, an empty stomach drives 00:09:10.359 --> 00:09:13.359 them on scoundrels, create trouble. 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.909 Their words are a destructive blaze. 00:09:17.019 --> 00:09:19.599 A troublemaker Plants seeds of strife. 00:09:20.019 --> 00:09:22.599 Gossip separates the best of friends. 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:27.849 Violent people mislead their companions, leading them down a 00:09:27.849 --> 00:09:31.299 harmful path with narrowed eyes. 00:09:31.419 --> 00:09:34.179 People plot evil with a smirk. 00:09:34.239 --> 00:09:35.559 They plan their mischief. 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.189 Gray hair is a crown of glory. 00:09:39.429 --> 00:09:41.739 It is gained by living a godly life. 00:09:43.029 --> 00:09:45.249 Better to be patient than powerful. 00:09:45.849 --> 00:09:49.179 Better to have self-control than to conquer a city. 00:09:50.349 --> 00:09:55.719 We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall better. 00:09:55.724 --> 00:10:01.869 A dry crust eaten in peace than a house filled with feasting and conflict. 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:07.599 A wise servant will rule over the Master's disgraceful son and will share the 00:10:07.599 --> 00:10:09.819 inheritance of the Master's children. 00:10:10.989 --> 00:10:16.449 Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but the Lord tests the heart. 00:10:17.649 --> 00:10:20.469 Wrongdoers eagerly listen to gossip. 00:10:21.069 --> 00:10:23.739 Liars pay close attention to slander. 00:10:24.819 --> 00:10:27.339 Those who mock the poor insult their maker. 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:31.599 Those who rejoice at the misfortune of others will be punished. 00:10:32.709 --> 00:10:36.969 Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged parents are 00:10:36.969 --> 00:10:38.319 the pride of their children. 00:10:39.504 --> 00:10:42.144 Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool. 00:10:42.504 --> 00:10:48.294 Even less are lies fitting For a ruler, a bribe is like a lucky charm. 00:10:48.804 --> 00:10:50.664 Whoever gives one will prosper. 00:10:51.774 --> 00:10:55.644 Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on 00:10:55.649 --> 00:10:57.504 it separates close friends. 00:10:58.644 --> 00:11:02.184 A single rebuke does more for a person of understanding than a 00:11:02.184 --> 00:11:04.644 hundred lashes on the back of a fool. 00:11:05.814 --> 00:11:10.494 Evil people are eager for rebellion, but they will be severely punished. 00:11:11.604 --> 00:11:16.434 It is safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than to confront 00:11:16.434 --> 00:11:18.414 a fool caught in foolishness. 00:11:19.644 --> 00:11:24.084 If you repay good with evil, evil will never leave your house. 00:11:25.564 --> 00:11:29.244 Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop 00:11:29.244 --> 00:11:31.044 before a dispute breaks out. 00:11:32.259 --> 00:11:35.409 Acquit the guilty and condemning the innocent. 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:38.109 Both are detestable to the Lord. 00:11:39.189 --> 00:11:42.279 It is senseless to pay to educate a fool. 00:11:42.549 --> 00:11:44.469 Since he has no heart for learning. 00:11:45.609 --> 00:11:50.499 A friend is always loyal and a brother is born to help in time of need. 00:11:51.549 --> 00:11:55.509 It's poor judgment to guarantee another person's debt or put 00:11:55.509 --> 00:11:57.099 up security for a friend. 00:11:58.314 --> 00:12:01.434 Anyone who loves to quarrel loves sin. 00:12:01.944 --> 00:12:05.574 Anyone who trusts in high walls invites disaster. 00:12:06.744 --> 00:12:08.754 The crooked heart will not prosper. 00:12:09.174 --> 00:12:11.694 The lying tongue tumbles into trouble. 00:12:12.804 --> 00:12:15.564 It is painful to be the parent of a fool. 00:12:16.134 --> 00:12:18.684 There is no joy for the father of a rebel. 00:12:19.914 --> 00:12:25.524 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit SAPs a person's strength. 00:12:26.859 --> 00:12:30.849 The wicked takes secret bribes to pervert the course of justice. 00:12:32.019 --> 00:12:36.969 Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom, but a fool's eyes 00:12:36.969 --> 00:12:38.799 wander to the ends of the earth. 00:12:40.059 --> 00:12:43.869 Foolish children bring grief to their father and bitterness 00:12:43.869 --> 00:12:45.369 to the one who gave them birth. 00:12:46.349 --> 00:12:52.089 It is wrong to punish the Godly for being good or to flog leaders for being honest. 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:57.669 A truly wise person uses few words, a person with 00:12:57.669 --> 00:13:00.069 understanding is even tempered. 00:13:01.929 --> 00:13:04.779 This concludes today's Immer reading
