Thursday, 19 February, 2026

In this episode of Tough Texts, Dan Price and Scott Keith continue reading Proverbs 29, exploring themes of reproof, the nature of bloodthirsty men, the contrast between fools and wise men, the responsibilities of rulers, and the relationship between the poor and their oppressors. They emphasize the importance of listening to wisdom, the consequences of falsehood, and the hope found in a faithful king who judges with equity. The conversation highlights the relevance of these ancient texts to contemporary issues, particularly regarding justice and compassion for the marginalized.
