January 31, 2026, Proverbs 9:1-12 9  Wisdom has built her house;      she has hewn her seven pillars. 2  She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine;      she has also set her table. 3  She has sent out her young women to call      from the highest places in the town, 4  “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”      To him who lacks sense she says, 5  “Come, eat of my bread      and drink of the wine I have mixed. 6  Leave your simple ways, and live,      and walk in the way of insight.” 7  Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,      and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. 8  Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;      reprove a wise man, and he will love you. 9...

January 30, 2026, Proverbs 8:1-36 8  Does not wisdom call?      Does not understanding raise her voice? 2  On the heights beside the way,      at the crossroads she takes her stand; 3  beside the gates in front of the town,      at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud: 4  “To you, O men, I call,      and my cry is to the children of man. 5  O simple ones, learn prudence;      O fools, learn sense. 6  Hear, for I will speak noble things,      and from my lips will come what is right, 7  for my mouth will utter truth;      wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 8  All the words of my mouth are righteous;      there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. 9  They are all straight to him wh...

January 29, 2026, Proverbs 7:1-27 7  My son, keep my words      and treasure up my commandments with you; 2  keep my commandments and live;      keep my teaching as the apple of your eye; 3  bind them on your fingers;      write them on the tablet of your heart. 4  Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”      and call insight your intimate friend, 5  to keep you from the forbidden woman,      from the adulteress with her smooth words. 6  For at the window of my house      I have looked out through my lattice, 7  and I have seen among the simple,      I have perceived among the youths,      a young man lacking sense, 8  passing along the street near her corner,      taking the road to her house 9  in...

January 28, 2026, Proverbs 6:20-35 20  My son, keep your father's commandment,      and forsake not your mother's teaching. 21  Bind them on your heart always;      tie them around your neck. 22  When you walk, they will lead you;      when you lie down, they will watch over you;      and when you awake, they will talk with you. 23  For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light,      and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life, 24  to preserve you from the evil woman,      from the smooth tongue of the adulteress. 25  Do not desire her beauty in your heart,      and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes; 26  for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread,      but a married woman hunts down a precious lif...

January 27, 2026, Proverbs 6:1-19 6  My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,      have given your pledge for a stranger, 2  if you are snared in the words of your mouth,      caught in the words of your mouth, 3  then do this, my son, and save yourself,      for you have come into the hand of your neighbor:      go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor. 4  Give your eyes no sleep      and your eyelids no slumber; 5  save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,      like a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6  Go to the ant, O sluggard;      consider her ways, and be wise. 7  Without having any chief,      officer, or ruler, 8  she prepares her bread in summer      and...

January 26, 2026, Proverbs 5:1-23 5  My son, be attentive to my wisdom;      incline your ear to my understanding, 2  that you may keep discretion,      and your lips may guard knowledge. 3  For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey,      and her speech is smoother than oil, 4  but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,      sharp as a two-edged sword. 5  Her feet go down to death;      her steps follow the path to Sheol; 6  she does not ponder the path of life;      her ways wander, and she does not know it. 7  And now, O sons, listen to me,      and do not depart from the words of my mouth. 8  Keep your way far from her,      and do not go near the door of her house, 9  lest you give your honor to o...

January 25, 2026, Proverbs 4:1-27 4  Hear, O sons, a father's instruction,      and be attentive, that you may gain insight, 2  for I give you good precepts;      do not forsake my teaching. 3  When I was a son with my father,      tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, 4  he taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words;      keep my commandments, and live. 5  Get wisdom; get insight;      do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. 6  Do not forsake her, and she will keep you;      love her, and she will guard you. 7  The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,      and whatever you get, get insight. 8  Prize her highly, and she will exalt you;      she will honor you if you embrace...
