00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.679
There's<00:11:47.039><c> something</c><00:11:47.279><c> very</c><00:11:47.700><c> special.</c>

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:53.580
About<00:11:49.320><c> us</c><00:11:49.580><c> being</c><00:11:50.120><c> gracious,</c><00:11:51.279><c> grace</c><00:11:51.460><c>-filled</c><00:11:52.320><c> people.</c>

00:12:19.700 --> 00:12:25.220
I<00:12:20.100><c> see</c><00:12:20.299><c> the</c><00:12:20.460><c> book</c><00:12:20.600><c> of</c><00:12:20.899><c> Proverbs</c><00:12:21.220><c> as</c><00:12:21.519><c> a</c><00:12:21.659><c> book</c><00:12:22.019><c> of</c><00:12:22.519><c> guidelines</c><00:12:23.039><c> for</c><00:12:23.980><c> godly</c><00:12:24.379><c> living,</c><00:12:25.019><c> so</c>

00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:27.299
that<00:12:25.340><c> we</c><00:12:25.460><c> may</c><00:12:25.600><c> be</c><00:12:25.840><c> gracious</c><00:12:26.220><c> people.</c>

00:12:31.059 --> 00:12:32.940
Now,<00:12:31.539><c> what</c><00:12:31.720><c> about</c><00:12:31.980><c> Solomon?</c>

00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.159
It's<00:12:36.039><c> troublesome</c><00:12:36.320><c> for</c><00:12:36.620><c> us,</c><00:12:36.860><c> isn't</c><00:12:37.000><c> it?</c>

00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:41.639
When<00:12:38.440><c> you</c><00:12:38.639><c> think</c><00:12:38.779><c> of</c><00:12:39.019><c> Solomon's</c><00:12:39.559><c> history,</c><00:12:40.720><c> and</c><00:12:41.019><c> to</c><00:12:41.299><c> think</c><00:12:41.460><c> of</c>

00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.480
him<00:12:41.899><c> as</c><00:12:42.120><c> the</c><00:12:42.340><c> source</c><00:12:42.600><c> of</c><00:12:42.799><c> so</c><00:12:42.980><c> many</c><00:12:43.159><c> of</c><00:12:43.259><c> these</c><00:12:43.500><c> Proverbs,</c>

00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:48.240
we<00:12:45.580><c> might</c><00:12:45.779><c> even</c><00:12:46.139><c> feel</c><00:12:46.379><c> that</c><00:12:46.620><c> something's</c><00:12:47.740><c> lost.</c>

00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:53.340
If<00:12:49.820><c> there</c><00:12:49.980><c> were</c><00:12:50.100><c> the</c><00:12:50.259><c> words</c><00:12:50.480><c> of</c><00:12:50.720><c> one</c><00:12:50.899><c> who</c><00:12:51.139><c> could</c><00:12:51.379><c> so</c><00:12:51.720><c> flagrantly</c><00:12:52.299><c> turn</c><00:12:52.879><c> from</c>

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:54.879
the<00:12:53.519><c> ways</c><00:12:53.720><c> of</c><00:12:54.000><c> God,</c>

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:59.740
and<00:12:55.440><c> behave</c><00:12:55.799><c> so</c><00:12:56.059><c> very</c><00:12:56.379><c> badly,</c><00:12:57.580><c> so</c><00:12:57.740><c> very</c><00:12:58.080><c> foolishly.</c>

00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.919
It's<00:13:00.519><c> even</c><00:13:00.720><c> suggested</c><00:13:01.080><c> sometimes</c><00:13:01.580><c> people,</c><00:13:02.100><c> I've</c><00:13:02.299><c> heard</c><00:13:02.399><c> people</c><00:13:02.679><c> say,</c>

00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:03.379
well<00:13:03.100><c> there,</c>

00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.759
when<00:13:03.779><c> it</c><00:13:03.940><c> says</c><00:13:04.080><c> the</c><00:13:04.360><c> Proverbs</c><00:13:04.679><c> of</c><00:13:05.019><c> Solomon,</c><00:13:05.340><c> it's</c><00:13:05.500><c> actually</c>

00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:07.000
Proverbs<00:13:06.120><c> for</c><00:13:06.559><c> Solomon,</c>

00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:08.679
and<00:13:07.440><c> I</c><00:13:07.600><c> don't</c><00:13:07.779><c> think</c><00:13:07.919><c> that's</c><00:13:08.340><c> justified.</c>

00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:13.120
I<00:13:09.100><c> think</c><00:13:09.200><c> these</c><00:13:09.419><c> are</c><00:13:09.620><c> the</c><00:13:09.720><c> words</c><00:13:10.159><c> of</c><00:13:10.639><c> the</c><00:13:10.860><c> wise</c><00:13:11.139><c> man</c><00:13:11.860><c> Solomon.</c>

00:13:14.100 --> 00:13:20.019
Now,<00:13:14.919><c> we</c><00:13:15.100><c> don't</c><00:13:15.360><c> need</c><00:13:15.639><c> to</c><00:13:16.559><c> rehearse</c><00:13:17.399><c> in</c><00:13:17.679><c> detail</c><00:13:18.179><c> his</c><00:13:19.519><c> history,</c>

00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.500
but<00:13:20.879><c> you</c><00:13:21.019><c> know</c><00:13:21.179><c> that</c><00:13:21.440><c> from</c><00:13:21.639><c> the</c><00:13:21.899><c> beginning,</c>

00:13:22.899 --> 00:13:24.899
David<00:13:23.179><c> named</c><00:13:23.460><c> him</c><00:13:23.679><c> Solomon,</c><00:13:24.100><c> meaning</c><00:13:24.379><c> peaceable.</c>

00:13:25.220 --> 00:13:28.360
God<00:13:25.440><c> had</c><00:13:25.620><c> told</c><00:13:25.720><c> him,</c><00:13:25.940><c> you've</c><00:13:26.440><c> been</c><00:13:26.879><c> a</c><00:13:27.200><c> man</c><00:13:27.340><c> of</c><00:13:27.580><c> blood,</c><00:13:28.159><c> and</c><00:13:28.279><c> you</c>

00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.899
can't<00:13:28.659><c> build</c><00:13:28.960><c> the</c><00:13:29.580><c> house</c><00:13:29.740><c> of</c><00:13:29.940><c> the</c><00:13:30.059><c> Lord,</c>

00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:32.100
because<00:13:31.120><c> you've</c><00:13:31.360><c> shed</c><00:13:31.460><c> much</c><00:13:31.700><c> blood.</c>

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:39.080
So<00:13:32.799><c> Solomon,</c><00:13:34.440><c> his</c><00:13:34.580><c> name</c><00:13:34.779><c> peaceable,</c><00:13:36.500><c> there's</c><00:13:36.720><c> in</c><00:13:36.820><c> his</c><00:13:37.120><c> name</c><00:13:37.759><c> a</c>

00:13:53.259 --> 00:13:56.220
Whether<00:13:53.460><c> that</c><00:13:53.659><c> means</c><00:13:53.940><c> because</c><00:13:54.500><c> of</c><00:13:54.799><c> what</c><00:13:54.960><c> the</c><00:13:55.139><c> Lord</c><00:13:55.299><c> had</c><00:13:55.600><c> said,</c>

00:14:01.740 --> 00:14:02.360
It<00:14:01.799><c> could</c><00:14:01.879><c> be</c><00:14:01.980><c> either</c><00:14:02.179><c> way.</c>

00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:07.840
But<00:14:02.600><c> the</c><00:14:02.840><c> thing</c><00:14:02.960><c> is,</c><00:14:04.379><c> Nathan,</c><00:14:04.960><c> the</c><00:14:05.320><c> prophet,</c><00:14:05.659><c> called</c><00:14:05.840><c> him</c><00:14:06.120><c> Jedidiah,</c><00:14:07.220><c> beloved</c><00:14:07.580><c> of</c>

His<00:17:29.759><c> perspective</c><00:17:30.420><c> was</c><00:17:30.880><c> right.</c>

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:34.779
It's<00:17:32.240><c> the</c><00:17:32.440><c> perspective</c><00:17:33.000><c> we</c><00:17:33.420><c> want</c><00:17:33.599><c> to</c><00:17:33.839><c> have.</c>

00:17:35.819 --> 00:17:38.490
It's<00:17:36.160><c> the</c><00:17:36.359><c> identity</c><00:17:36.960><c> we</c><00:17:37.240><c> want</c><00:17:37.420><c> to</c><00:17:37.619><c> have.</c>

00:17:40.049 --> 00:17:45.890

00:17:58.829 --> 00:18:02.410
You<00:17:58.910><c> know,</c><00:17:59.029><c> we</c><00:17:59.309><c> see</c><00:17:59.549><c> an</c><00:17:59.789><c> ant</c><00:17:59.990><c> and</c><00:18:00.769><c> we</c><00:18:01.029><c> think</c><00:18:01.549><c> it's</c><00:18:02.309><c> something</c>

Why,<00:18:07.750><c> they're</c><00:18:07.990><c> industrious.</c>

00:18:10.069 --> 00:18:12.369

00:18:37.049 --> 00:18:39.950

00:19:20.529 --> 00:19:22.309

You<00:19:23.269><c> know,</c><00:19:23.450><c> if</c><00:19:23.670><c> you</c><00:19:24.190><c> only</c><00:19:24.690><c> had</c><00:19:25.170><c> the</c><00:19:25.690><c> second</c><00:19:26.109><c> king's</c><00:19:27.150><c> account</c>

00:19:30.710 --> 00:19:34.650

00:19:43.009 --> 00:19:47.910
And<00:19:43.309><c> yet</c><00:19:43.529><c> we</c><00:19:43.869><c> have</c><00:19:44.029><c> in</c><00:19:44.250><c> 2</c><00:19:44.410><c> Chronicles</c><00:19:44.910><c> 33</c><00:19:45.589><c> a</c><00:19:45.910><c> record</c><00:19:46.269><c> of</c><00:19:46.730><c> his</c><00:19:46.970><c> repentance.</c>

So<00:19:48.390><c> kings</c><00:19:48.849><c> tells</c><00:19:50.009><c> us</c><00:19:50.250><c> nothing</c><00:19:50.490><c> of</c><00:19:50.730><c> Manasseh's</c><00:19:51.410><c> repentance,</c>

00:19:54.170 --> 00:19:57.670
If<00:19:54.470><c> we</c><00:19:54.690><c> only</c><00:19:55.049><c> had</c><00:19:55.490><c> Chronicles,</c><00:19:56.150><c> on</c><00:19:56.390><c> the</c><00:19:56.509><c> other</c><00:19:56.690><c> hand,</c>

00:20:22.509 --> 00:20:28.829
Some<00:20:22.789><c> of</c><00:20:22.970><c> the</c><00:20:23.130><c> warnings</c><00:20:23.450><c> to</c><00:20:23.769><c> his</c><00:20:24.089><c> son</c><00:20:24.950><c> have</c><00:20:27.069><c> the</c><00:20:27.369><c> special</c><00:20:27.750><c> poignancy</c>

such<00:21:26.490><c> women?</c>

00:21:27.089 --> 00:21:30.730
We<00:21:27.349><c> remember</c><00:21:27.650><c> the</c><00:21:27.849><c> circumstance</c><00:21:28.329><c> in</c><00:21:28.569><c> Nehemiah</c><00:21:28.970><c> where</c><00:21:29.170><c> there's</c><00:21:29.910><c> an</c>

00:21:35.589 --> 00:21:39.569
Nehemiah<00:21:35.930><c> says,</c><00:21:36.829><c> among</c><00:21:37.109><c> the</c><00:21:37.769><c> many</c><00:21:38.130><c> nations,</c><00:21:38.829><c> there</c><00:21:39.049><c> was</c><00:21:39.289><c> no</c>

00:21:42.569 --> 00:21:46.069
Intriguing<00:21:43.109><c> little</c><00:21:43.529><c> reference</c><00:21:43.910><c> to</c><00:21:44.190><c> the</c><00:21:44.369><c> name</c><00:21:44.630><c> that</c><00:21:45.690><c> Nathan</c>

00:21:48.170 --> 00:21:49.450
It's<00:21:48.269><c> one</c><00:21:48.349><c> of</c><00:21:48.410><c> those</c><00:21:48.509><c> things</c><00:21:48.630><c> you</c><00:21:48.710><c> could</c><00:21:48.869><c> easily</c><00:21:49.089><c> miss.</c>

00:21:49.450 --> 00:21:51.609
He<00:21:50.049><c> was</c><00:21:50.289><c> beloved</c><00:21:50.750><c> by</c><00:21:51.089><c> his</c><00:21:51.369><c> God.</c>

00:21:51.690 --> 00:21:56.750
He<00:21:51.769><c> was</c><00:21:51.990><c> Jedidiah,</c><00:21:54.170><c> and</c><00:21:54.230><c> God</c><00:21:54.430><c> made</c><00:21:54.630><c> him</c><00:21:54.809><c> king</c><00:21:55.150><c> over</c><00:21:55.450><c> all</c><00:21:55.609><c> Israel.</c>

Nevertheless,<00:21:58.490><c> foreign</c><00:21:58.690><c> women</c><00:21:59.450><c> made</c><00:22:00.130><c> even</c><00:22:00.490><c> him</c><00:22:01.369><c> to</c><00:22:02.869><c> sin.</c>

00:22:06.369 --> 00:22:10.109
So<00:22:06.690><c> it's</c><00:22:06.890><c> a</c><00:22:07.009><c> sobering</c><00:22:07.470><c> thought,</c><00:22:08.170><c> whatever</c><00:22:08.470><c> happened</c><00:22:08.910><c> to</c><00:22:09.210><c> Solomon?</c>

00:22:11.289 --> 00:22:13.769
Well,<00:22:11.650><c> whenever</c><00:22:12.049><c> Solomon</c><00:22:12.450><c> came</c><00:22:12.670><c> up</c><00:22:12.849><c> with</c><00:22:13.029><c> the</c><00:22:13.210><c> Proverbs,</c><00:22:13.609><c> it</c>

00:22:27.009 --> 00:22:29.329
Well,<00:22:27.269><c> let's</c><00:22:27.390><c> take</c><00:22:27.569><c> a</c><00:22:27.650><c> minute</c><00:22:27.789><c> to</c><00:22:28.009><c> think</c><00:22:28.150><c> about</c><00:22:28.369><c> the</c><00:22:28.609><c> nature</c>

of<00:22:30.630><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:22:31.430 --> 00:22:34.930
There's<00:22:31.710><c> a</c><00:22:31.930><c> proverb</c><00:22:32.190><c> about</c><00:22:32.589><c> Proverbs</c><00:22:33.170><c> that</c><00:22:33.869><c> says</c><00:22:34.089><c> that</c><00:22:34.289><c> a</c><00:22:34.450><c> proverb</c><00:22:34.710><c> to</c>

00:22:45.569 --> 00:22:49.990

But<00:23:15.150><c> anyway,</c><00:23:16.009><c> aunque</c><00:23:16.250><c> la</c><00:23:16.509><c> mona</c><00:23:16.750><c> se</c><00:23:16.990><c> viste</c><00:23:17.309><c> de</c><00:23:17.630><c> seda,</c><00:23:18.150><c> mona</c><00:23:18.450><c> se</c><00:23:18.670><c> queda.</c>

00:23:20.029 --> 00:23:22.730
Which<00:23:20.230><c> is,</c><00:23:20.690><c> it's</c><00:23:20.849><c> great</c><00:23:21.029><c> because</c><00:23:21.250><c> it</c><00:23:21.509><c> rhymes,</c><00:23:21.829><c> you</c><00:23:22.009><c> know,</c><00:23:22.529><c> but</c>

00:23:22.730 --> 00:23:24.269
it's<00:23:23.109><c> even</c><00:23:23.390><c> better</c><00:23:23.509><c> because</c><00:23:23.769><c> of</c><00:23:23.849><c> what</c><00:23:23.910><c> it</c><00:23:24.069><c> means.</c>

00:23:24.630 --> 00:23:28.910
It<00:23:24.809><c> says,</c><00:23:24.990><c> even</c><00:23:25.269><c> though</c><00:23:25.490><c> the</c><00:23:25.670><c> monkey</c><00:23:25.930><c> wears</c><00:23:26.250><c> silk,</c><00:23:27.750><c> it's</c><00:23:27.849><c> still</c><00:23:27.970><c> a</c><00:23:28.150><c> monkey.</c>

00:23:29.930 --> 00:23:32.470
And<00:23:30.410><c> I</c><00:23:30.890><c> think</c><00:23:31.130><c> of</c><00:23:31.210><c> that</c><00:23:31.390><c> every</c><00:23:31.630><c> Sunday</c><00:23:31.869><c> morning</c><00:23:32.130><c> when</c><00:23:32.250><c> I</c><00:23:32.369><c> put</c>

00:23:40.369 --> 00:23:46.029
There's<00:23:40.990><c> lots</c><00:23:41.190><c> of</c><00:23:41.470><c> Proverbs,</c><00:23:42.869><c> lots</c><00:23:43.069><c> of</c><00:23:43.309><c> Proverbs</c><00:23:43.529><c> in</c><00:23:43.670><c> the</c><00:23:43.809><c> Bible,</c><00:23:44.990><c> Proverbs</c><00:23:45.390><c> outside</c><00:23:45.849><c> of</c>

the<00:23:46.069><c> book</c><00:23:46.250><c> of</c><00:23:46.490><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:23:49.329 --> 00:23:53.869
David,<00:23:50.009><c> speaking</c><00:23:50.470><c> to</c><00:23:50.789><c> Saul,</c><00:23:52.150><c> says,</c><00:23:52.690><c> as</c><00:23:52.690><c> the</c><00:23:52.970><c> proverb</c><00:23:53.289><c> of</c><00:23:53.569><c> the</c>

00:23:58.690 --> 00:24:01.369
And<00:23:58.849><c> I</c><00:23:58.910><c> think</c><00:23:59.109><c> the</c><00:23:59.349><c> NIV</c><00:23:59.630><c> has</c><00:23:59.809><c> done</c><00:23:59.970><c> a</c><00:24:00.190><c> particularly</c><00:24:00.769><c> good</c><00:24:01.049><c> job</c>

00:24:01.369 --> 00:24:02.670
of<00:24:01.569><c> catching</c><00:24:01.789><c> it</c><00:24:01.950><c> when</c><00:24:02.049><c> they</c><00:24:02.269><c> say,</c>

00:24:03.029 --> 00:24:06.890
from<00:24:03.349><c> evildoers</c><00:24:04.769><c> come</c><00:24:05.289><c> evil</c><00:24:05.789><c> deeds.</c>

00:24:08.170 --> 00:24:11.170
It's<00:24:08.730><c> sort</c><00:24:08.869><c> of</c><00:24:08.930><c> like,</c><00:24:09.250><c> by</c><00:24:09.250><c> their</c><00:24:09.529><c> fruits,</c><00:24:09.750><c> you</c><00:24:09.950><c> shall</c><00:24:10.109><c> know</c><00:24:10.309><c> them.</c>

00:24:11.450 --> 00:24:16.470
The<00:24:11.670><c> Hebrew</c><00:24:12.029><c> word</c><00:24:12.390><c> for</c><00:24:12.750><c> a</c><00:24:12.930><c> proverb</c><00:24:13.289><c> has</c><00:24:14.210><c> to</c><00:24:14.470><c> do</c><00:24:14.769><c> with</c><00:24:15.190><c> comparisons.</c>

00:24:16.910 --> 00:24:21.730
It's<00:24:17.470><c> sometimes</c><00:24:17.990><c> ironic,</c><00:24:20.150><c> sometimes</c><00:24:20.849><c> humorous.</c>

00:24:22.130 --> 00:24:25.509
So,<00:24:22.349><c> for</c><00:24:22.529><c> instance,</c><00:24:23.609><c> with</c><00:24:23.849><c> Saul,</c><00:24:24.250><c> they</c><00:24:24.369><c> said,</c><00:24:24.670><c> is</c><00:24:24.769><c> Saul</c><00:24:25.130><c> also</c>

00:24:27.450 --> 00:24:29.529
It's<00:24:27.569><c> an</c><00:24:27.789><c> expression</c><00:24:28.069><c> of</c><00:24:28.390><c> incredulity.</c>

00:24:30.690 --> 00:24:34.349
The<00:24:30.990><c> Proverbs</c><00:24:31.329><c> we've</c><00:24:32.230><c> been</c><00:24:32.470><c> speaking</c><00:24:32.750><c> about</c><00:24:32.950><c> so</c><00:24:33.210><c> far</c><00:24:33.509><c> are</c><00:24:34.009><c> what</c><00:24:34.170><c> are</c>

00:24:34.349 --> 00:24:35.309
called<00:24:34.589><c> apothems.</c>

00:24:35.529 --> 00:24:36.869
There's<00:24:35.789><c> a</c><00:24:35.890><c> good</c><00:24:36.049><c> word</c><00:24:36.289><c> for</c><00:24:36.369><c> them.</c>

00:24:36.849 --> 00:24:40.150
If<00:24:37.150><c> you</c><00:24:37.349><c> ever</c><00:24:37.589><c> hear</c><00:24:37.809><c> plain</c><00:24:38.029><c> scrabble</c><00:24:38.509><c> and</c><00:24:38.650><c> you</c><00:24:38.829><c> have</c><00:24:39.190><c> 11</c><00:24:39.569><c> letters</c><00:24:39.950><c> and</c>

00:24:41.230 --> 00:24:44.349

00:24:45.250 --> 00:24:49.269
An<00:24:45.650><c> apothem</c><00:24:46.089><c> is</c><00:24:46.690><c> a</c><00:24:46.990><c> sort</c><00:24:47.130><c> of</c><00:24:47.450><c> short</c><00:24:47.690><c> and</c><00:24:48.069><c> pithy</c><00:24:48.490><c> statement</c><00:24:48.930><c> of</c>

00:24:49.269 --> 00:24:49.910
general<00:24:49.609><c> truth.</c>

00:24:49.970 --> 00:24:53.670
And<00:24:50.109><c> that's</c><00:24:50.730><c> what</c><00:24:50.910><c> we</c><00:24:51.150><c> tend</c><00:24:51.309><c> to</c><00:24:51.569><c> think</c><00:24:51.710><c> of</c><00:24:51.970><c> as</c><00:24:52.849><c> all</c><00:24:53.329><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:24:53.990 --> 00:25:00.230
But<00:24:54.109><c> in</c><00:24:54.549><c> fact,</c><00:24:54.950><c> in</c><00:24:55.130><c> Scripture,</c><00:24:56.769><c> the</c><00:24:58.569><c> word</c><00:24:58.829><c> proverb</c><00:24:59.230><c> is</c><00:24:59.490><c> applied</c><00:24:59.930><c> in</c><00:25:00.109><c> a</c>

00:25:01.950 --> 00:25:04.630
It's<00:25:02.250><c> used</c><00:25:02.529><c> sometimes</c><00:25:03.210><c> of</c><00:25:03.710><c> parables.</c>

00:25:05.029 --> 00:25:10.710
For<00:25:05.630><c> example,</c><00:25:06.349><c> in</c><00:25:06.390><c> Numbers</c><00:25:06.769><c> 23,</c><00:25:08.670><c> Balaam,</c><00:25:08.970><c> it</c><00:25:09.349><c> says,</c><00:25:09.930><c> took</c><00:25:10.150><c> up</c>

In<00:25:13.089><c> Ezekiel</c><00:25:13.589><c> 17,</c><00:25:14.970><c> there's</c><00:25:15.269><c> the</c><00:25:15.569><c> parable</c><00:25:15.950><c> of</c><00:25:16.230><c> the</c><00:25:16.470><c> eagles</c><00:25:16.730><c> and</c>

the<00:25:17.250><c> vine.</c>

00:25:18.650 --> 00:25:21.289
There's<00:25:18.990><c> also</c><00:25:19.369><c> oracles</c><00:25:19.890><c> like</c><00:25:20.289><c> Isaiah</c><00:25:20.670><c> 14.</c>

00:25:21.529 --> 00:25:25.789
Thou<00:25:21.710><c> shalt</c><00:25:21.950><c> take</c><00:25:22.190><c> up</c><00:25:22.390><c> this</c><00:25:22.849><c> proverb</c><00:25:23.329><c> against</c><00:25:24.309><c> the</c><00:25:24.609><c> king</c><00:25:24.769><c> of</c><00:25:25.009><c> Babylon.</c>

00:26:12.930 --> 00:26:15.569
