Here’s this week’s Scripture passage!

  1. Insight from Butler’s Daily Bible Reading: Proverbs 14—There are four topics that are most prominent in this chapter. •Fear of the Lord (vv. 2, 26, 27): it leads to life and is embraced by righteousness. •Foolish lips (vv. 3, 5, 7, 23, 25): this chapter, like some previous chapters, emphasizes the lips, noting the evil of foolish lips which includes false talk. •Fury of anger (vv. 17, 19): bad temper is never honored in Scripture. •Forlorn (vv. 20, 21, 31): righteous people care for those who are truly poor (do not confuse this care with the political poverty program).
