Wisdom's Wife
Proverbs 31:10-31 |Transcription: Proverbs chapter 31 beginning in verse 10. An excellent wife, who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her.

Wisdom's King
Proverbs 31:1-9 |Transcription: Proverbs 31, the words of King Lemuel, an oracle that his mother taught him. What are you doing, my son? What are you doing, son of my womb?

Wisdom's Control
Proverbs 23:27-35 |Transcription: Proverbs 25. I'll read beginning in verse six. Do not put yourself forward in the king's presence or stand in the place of the great. It's better to be told to come up here than to be put lower in the presence of a noble. What your eyes have seen, don't bring hastily into court. What you do in the end, put your neighbor to shame. Argue with your neighbor in secret rather than bringing him before others because you don't know how your case wil

Wisdom's Leadership
Proverbs 28:1-28 |Transcription: Proverbs. We've been working our way through Proverbs, as you know, and our approach so far from chapter 11 all the way to chapter 29 has been to find themes that are predominant in different chapters of Proverbs, pull those out and then gather all the other Proverbs on that theme.
