Welcome to Day 2210 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets – Proverbs 10:9-16 – Daily Wisdom  Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2210 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2210 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.   In today’s Wisdom Nugget, I’m excited to continue our journey through the book of Proverbs, where we explore its timeless wisdom. Today, we’re delving into Proverbs 10:9-16 from the New Living Translation. So, get ready to lace up your hiking boots as we uncover the path of wisdom in these verses.

Pause… Verse 14-16: “Wise people treasure knowledge, but the babbling of a fool invites disaster. The wealth of the rich is their fortress; the poverty of the poor is their destruction.
