October 9th 2018 – Proverbs 29:24-27

The partner of a thief hates his own life;     he hears the curse, but discloses nothing. The fear of man lays a snare,     but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. Many seek the face of a ruler,     but it is from the Lord that a

October 8th 2018 – Proverbs 29:18-23

Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,     but blessed is he who keeps the law. By mere words a servant is not disciplined,     for though he understands, he will not respond. Do you see a man who is hasty

October 7th 2018 – Proverbs 29:13-17

The poor man and the oppressor meet together;     the Lord gives light to the eyes of both. If a king faithfully judges the poor,     his throne will be established for ever. The rod and reproof give wisdom,     but a child left to himself brings shame to

October 6th 2018 – Proverbs 29:7-12

A righteous man knows the rights of the poor;     a wicked man does not understand such knowledge. Scoffers set a city aflame,     but the wise turn away wrath. If a wise man has an argument with a fool,     the fool only rages

October 5th 2018 – Proverbs 29:1-6

He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck,     will suddenly be broken beyond healing. When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,     but when the wicked rule, the people groan. He who loves wisdom makes his father glad,     but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth. By

October 4th 2018 – Proverbs 28:21-28

To show partiality is not good,     but for a piece of bread a man will do wrong. A stingy man hastens after wealth     and does not know that poverty will come upon him. Whoever rebukes a man will afterwards find more favour     than he who flatters with

October 3rd 2018 – Proverbs 28:15-20

Like a roaring lion or a charging bear     is a wicked ruler over a poor people. A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor,     but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days. If one is burdened with the blood of another,     he

October 2nd 2018 – Proverbs 28:9-14

If one turns away his ear from hearing the law,     even his prayer is an abomination. Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way     will fall into his own pit,     but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance. A rich man is

October 1st 2018 – Proverbs 28:4-8

Those who forsake instruction praise the wicked, but those who heed it resist them. Evildoers do not understand what is right, but those who seek the Lord understand it fully. Better the poor whose walk is blameless than the rich whose ways

September 30th 2018 – Proverbs 28:1-3

The wicked flee when no one pursues,     but the righteous are bold as a lion.  When a land transgresses, it has many rulers,     but with a man of understanding and knowledge,     its stability will long continue.  A poor man who oppresses the
