Reading for October 31st

 Read Probers 10.16-32. In verse19: Ordinarily, abundance is good as in vv. 4, 21 and 27, and scarcity is bad, as in vv.15 and 21. But where words are concerned the situation is reversed. words should be few and well chosen (see 17.27). In verse 26: A lazy person is a common type in Proverbs (mentioned fourteen times in the book) and is often the object of scorn or humor. The lazy are as sure to pain an employer as vinegar and smoke are sure to pain taste buds and eyes, by an almost chemical necessity. Comments or Questions..
