To the Faithful Readers

Today’s reading unfolds a treasure of wisdom for everyday life—covering diligence, purity, speech, relationships, and the contrast between righteousness and wickedness. The book of Proverbs is not just advice; it is God’s wisdom breathed into practical living. Every chapter points to the reality that the way of wisdom brings life, while the way of folly leads to ruin.

Reading Instructions

Read Proverbs 6–15 carefully. Notice the warnings against laziness, adultery, and foolish speech. Pay attention to the repeated contrast: “the righteous” versus “the wicked.” Mark the promises of life, health, and favor that flow from walking in wisdom.
