The Lord’s Message on 02/07/2015; Be thou my vision so the wicked flee

Lord, teach Your servants to be over-comers.

Lord, place us under Your dominion by charging us to develop Your worldview by reading you Holy Word daily.

Lord, show us how to perform Your will by putting upon our hearts the need to take actions according to your guidance.

Be thou my vision

Proverbs 28 NIV Audio Bible, Dramatized [1]

Proverbs 28 New International Version

The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order.

A ruler who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.

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 are perverse.

A discerning son heeds instruction, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.

Whoever increases wealth by taking interest or profit from the poor amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.

If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable.

Whoever leads the upright along an evil path will fall into their own trap, but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.

The rich are wise in their own eyes; one who is poor and discerning sees how deluded they are.

When the righteous triumph, there is great elation; but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding.

Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

Blessed is the one who always trembles before God, but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.

Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.

A tyrannical ruler practices extortion, but one who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long reign.

Anyone tormented by the guilt of murder will seek refuge in the grave; let no one hold them back.

The one whose walk is blameless is kept safe, but the one whose ways are perverse will fall into the pit.

Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.

A faithful person will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.

To show partiality is not good— yet a person will do wrong for a piece of bread.

The stingy are eager to get rich and are unaware that poverty awaits them.

Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor rather than one who has a flattering tongue.

Whoever robs their father or mother and says, “It’s not wrong,” is partner to one who destroys.

The greedy stir up conflict, but those who trust in the Lord will prosper.

Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.

Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.

When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding; but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.

Proverbs 29 NIV Audio Bible, Dramatized [1]

Proverbs 29 New International Version

Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.

When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.

A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

By justice a king gives a country stability, but those who are greedy for bribes tear it down.

Those who flatter their neighbors are spreading nets for their feet.

Evildoers are snared by their own sin, but the righteous shout for joy and are glad.

The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.

Mockers stir up a city, but the wise turn away anger.

If a wise person goes to court with a fool, the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.

The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity and seek to kill the upright.

Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end.

If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked.

The poor and the oppressor have this in common: The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.

If a king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will be established forever.

A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.

When the wicked thrive, so does sin, but the righteous will see their downfall.

Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire.

Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.

Servants cannot be corrected by mere words; though they understand, they will not respond.

Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.

A servant pampered from youth will turn out to be insolent.

An angry person stirs up conflict, and a hot-tempered person commits many sins.

Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.

The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies; they are put under oath and dare not testify.

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the Lord that one gets justice.

The righteous detest the dishonest; the wicked detest the upright.
