• 153: The Guilty and the Greedy. (Proverbs 21-23)

  Loose tongues cost lives, a bribe pacifies the angry and those with a fondness of wine will never be rich.Many of Solomon's wise sayings are as true today as when they were written three millennia ago.In this episode, the rhythm changes a little as the book segues from Solomon's own wisdom to what he refers to as 'The Thirty Sayings of the Wise', many of which still resonate with readers today.

• 152: The Sluggard (Proverbs 18-20)

  The wealthy person who loses friends when they lose their money.The gossip who betrays a friend's confidence.And the person who is too lazy to lift their spoon to their mouth.The torrent of timeless, poetic and sometimes comical proverbs continues.Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa GoffSend any questions or feedback to [email protected]

• 151: The Wicked and the Wise (Proverbs 16-18)

  Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Pride comes before a fall.Grey hair is a crown of splendour. Even the fool who keeps silent is seen as wise.The proverbs that populate his book are as honest as they are poetic; much needed truths in a world that is craving authenticity and wisdom.Enjoy the podcast and send any questions or feedback to [email protected] and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa Goff

• 150: Bone-Rotting Envy (Proverbs 14-15)

  Sometimes terse, sometimes poetic, sometimes enigmatic, these often two-line sayings balance the good against the bad, the preferable against the undesirable.Some of these proverbs offer wisdom, others state the blindingly obvious. Either way, readers are left with accurate insights into a world of relationships, work, commerce and politics that are as familiar in the twenty first century as they were in Solomon's Israel. Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa GoffSend questions of feedback to [email protected]

• 149: Death Snares (Proverbs 11-13)

  A beautiful woman who shows no discretion is like a pig with a ring in its nose.Morally upstanding people care for their animals.And those who spare the rod ruin their children.The Book of Proverbs is not afraid to pull punches and the aphorisms that flow from Solomon's pen are nothing if not colourful.Enjoy the wisdom!Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa Goff
