Day 151 - Trinity Sunday

Read | Day 151 | Sunday | May 31 Proverbs 14: 1– 16: 33 Background | Center for Biblical Studies | Proverbs |  Click here Reading | various sayings ... A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain,  but knowledge is easy for one who understands. The poor are disliked even by their neighbours,  but the rich have many friends. Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding,   but one who has a hasty temper exalts folly. The eyes of the  Lord  are in every place,  keeping watch on the evil and the good. 4  A gentle tongue is a tree of life,  but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. 5  A fool despises a parent’s instruction,  but the one who heeds admonition is prudent. Commit your work to the  Lord ,  and your plans will be established. 4  The  Lord  has made everything for its purpose,  even the wicked for the day of trouble.

Day 150 - Saturday after Pentecost

Read |  Day 150 | Saturday | May 30 Proverbs 11: 1– 13: 25 Background | Center for Biblical Studies | Proverbs |  Click here Reading | Various sayings ... Whoever belittles another lacks sense,  but an intelligent person remains silent. Some give freely, yet grow all the richer;  others withhold what is due, and only suffer want. 25  A generous person will be enriched,  and one who gives water will get water. Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,  but those who hate to be rebuked are stupid. One who is clever conceals knowledge,  but the mind of a fool broadcasts folly. The clever do all things intelligently,  but the fool displays folly.
