TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Date: September 16, 2026. Lesson 183-2026. Wisdom Knows When to Speak
Episode Date: September 16, 2026In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles continues Proverbs 29 with verses 10 and 11, examining why the upright often attract hatred they did not provoke and why wisdom requires restraint in speech. Sol...omon contrasts the bloodthirsty, who hate the blameless, with the fool who releases everything in his mind without restraint. Rick explains that righteousness itself can provoke hostility because integrity exposes darkness simply by being present. But the lesson also warns believers not to mistake every conflict for persecution or to deliberately provoke others and then claim victimhood. The focus then turns to the discipline of the tongue. A fool immediately releases every thought, emotion, irritation, and reaction, while a wise person knows how to hold words back until the right time. Wisdom is not permanent silence—it is knowing what should be said, when it should be said, and how much should be said. The same words spoken in the heat of the moment can wound, while words delivered later with restraint and discernment can bring healing.

Welcome to Morning, My North.
Welcome to Morning, Madam. My new ritual, North.
Your teachers, Rick Wiles and Dr. Burckhardt.
Get your Bible and notebook and get ready to here before.
Good morning. Welcome to Morning, Madam.
My fellow Bible study classmates, I'm Rick Wiles.
And I'm so glad that you're here today.
My teaching partner, Dr. Raymond Burckhart, is away this week.
is attending a conference, but he'll be back soon.
We are currently studying the 29th chapter of the book of Proverbs.
And it's hard to believe that we started this journey a year ago.
I don't know about you, but this study of Proverbs has been life-changing for me.
I hope it's had that kind of impact on you also.
If you've missed out on many of the lessons, if you're new to morning that,
Now, you can find our previous lessons at manna nation.com, manna nation.com.
And our lesson number today is 186-2026.
That simply means that we've recorded 186 lessons in the year 2026.
So you can find today's lesson at manna nation.com.
Also, when you visit manna nation.com, we would
be very grateful, very thankful. If you would show your appreciation for this international Bible
teaching ministry by clicking the heart in the upper right corner of the website and giving a generous
donation. That's all I'm going to say about finances. We don't pressure, we don't hustle,
we don't bombard you with emails, begging for money. We simply let you know that we
trust the Lord for our finances. And that's the way you should live also. You should quietly,
peacefully trust the Lord, rest in Jesus for everything that you need. And as you become involved
with God's kingdom work, because what we're doing is that the church needs to be doing two things.
gathering in the harvest, which is the inheritance that belongs to Jesus,
he inherited the nations of the earth when he went to the cross.
And so the entire human race is his inheritance.
So we should be involved in gathering in the inheritance.
And number two, we should be discipling those who have come into the kingdom.
This primarily my task is discipling, teaching the word.
And so when you get involved in those two things,
and there are the things that are equally important,
taking care of the poor,
taking care of widows and orphans,
God bless us these things.
When you get involved in these things,
the Lord blesses you.
He opens his hand,
and he shares with you his blessings.
So that's the way the kingdom operates,
and I hope that you have,
I hope you've already learned that.
I hope this is not a new revelation to you.
But if it is a new revelation,
then come on in and find out what many Christians have known for a long time.
That they're giving, their participation in God's work
is richly rewarded by the Lord.
Let's pray and invite the Holy Spirit,
and we will begin today's lesson.
Almighty God, our Father in heaven.
Father, we give you glory and honor and praise and Thanksgiving.
We come in the name of our king, your son, Jesus Christ,
and we invite the Holy Spirit to lead this Bible study.
I ask for the Holy Spirit's inspiration to teach,
and I ask for the Holy Spirit's anointing on people
that their spiritual ears and eyes would be open to receive
wisdom and knowledge and understanding. This we ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
All right, our lesson is in Proverbs 29, verses 10 and 11. I'm going to read the King James,
and then we will read the English translation of the Greek Septuagint. That's our manner of
teaching here at Morning Man when we're in the Old Covenant. We look at both the King James
and the Greek Septuagint. The King James says, the bloodthirstyles.
hate the upright, but the just seek his soul. A fool uttereth all his mind, but a wise man keepeth it in till
afterwards. Now here's the way the Septuagint says, bloody men hate a holy person, but the upright seek his soul.
A fool utters all his mind, but the wise reserves his in part.
Proverbs 29, verse 10 and 11, pair two verses that at first appear to address unrelated subjects.
Murderous hatred in one case and unrestrained speech and the other.
But they share a common concern with what a man or woman does with what is inside him or her.
verse 10 describes the bloodthirsty hating the upright, hating the just person,
and sets against them the just who seek his soul.
The verse contains a genuine translational difficulty that I hope that this lesson will address
and because you can read this verse two ways.
and I'm not going to say which way is correct.
I'm just going to present for you information as these are the two ways that many people have interpreted this verse.
Now, verse 11 describes the fool who utters all his mind compared against the wise man or woman who keeps it in until afterwards.
The contrast is not between speech and silence,
but between speech unrestrained and speech governed by timing.
The connecting thread in this lesson today is the interior life.
What is inside you and its outlet?
What comes out of this mouth?
The bloodthirsty man's hatred,
of the righteous
proceeds outward toward the upright
and the fool's entire mind
proceeds outward without filter
in both cases
what is within
simply exits
unexamined
and ungoverned
the bloodthirsty man
it exits through his hands he commits murder
the fool, his foolishness exit through his mouth.
So verse 11 connects directly to the theme that this lesson developed back in Proverbs chapter 25.
If you remember in verse 28, the man with no rule over his own spirit was compared to a
city broken down and without walls. So verse 11 supplies one specific instance of that ruined wall,
the ungoverned mouth. So the aim of today's lesson is to examine why the upright provoke hatred,
hatred that they did not seek, that they did not instigate, and to teach the discipline of
restraint that distinguishes the wise man's speech from the fools, not silence. The timing.
This is the lesson for today, the timing of what we say.
Let's start with verse 10. The bloodthirsty hate the upright, but the just seek his soul.
The literal English translation of the Hebrew is men of bloods hate the blameless one.
Men of bloods, plural.
That's an ancient Hebrew expression for those people who are characterized by violence and murderous intent.
Psalm 5, verse 6 says,
You destroy those who tell lies.
The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, Lord, detest.
Psalm 55, verse 33 says,
But you God will bring down the wicked into the pit of decay.
The bloodthirsty and deceitful will not live out half their days.
But as for me, I trust in you.
Bloodthirsty does not refer to a bit of evil.
a single act of violence.
Instead, it describes men and women who love killing other human beings.
They have a settled disposition to murder.
And this is a fact of life.
There are violent men and women who love to kill.
Maybe they don't do it with their own hands,
but maybe they have power to order other people to kill.
Maybe they're politicians who can send armies in the battle to satisfy bloodlust that they have, which is just to kill.
It's happening in the world.
We see it.
There are people driven with a bloodlust, and God does not back these people.
He does not support these people.
They will come to an end.
The object of their hatred in this song is what the Hebrew calls the top.
The blameless, innocent, complete, whole man or woman.
This word Tom in Hebrew is the same root as another word that we studied days or weeks ago,
Tome.
That was in Proverbs 28, verse 6, also 28, 18, which means integrity, wholeness,
the man or woman who is one person, not several.
They don't have multiple personalities.
They're the same person day and night.
So the proverb's key feature is that no provocation is named.
The upright man or woman has not opposed this bloodthirsty person,
has not exposed their crimes and their sins,
has not interfered with their activities.
He or she is hated for one thing,
for what he or she is,
rather than for anything that they have done.
They're blameless, they're upright, they're honest, they're God-fearing.
And for that reason alone, they're hated by bloodthirsty men.
The reason is that integrity functions as an accusation
without ever speaking,
the bloodthirsty man or woman
feels convicted,
condemned.
Are there lust for blood?
A whole man, woman,
an upright person,
in the presence of divided men and women
is a standing demonstration
that the division of their soul and their personalities was not necessary.
And that demonstration is intolerable to those who require their compromises to appear inevitable.
They're convicted.
And because they're convicted, they strike out and attack.
This is why Jesus located the mechanism in John,
verse 20, Jesus said,
Everyone that doeth evil,
hateeth the light,
neither cometh to the light,
lest his deed should be reproved.
The light does nothing wrong.
The light does nothing to the evil doer
except exist where the evil doer can see it.
Just the very fact that you are alive
and shining the light of Christ,
that's all it takes to provoke.
these people. It's not you that they hate, it's the light that they hate, and the light is Christ in you.
Cain and Abel, back in Genesis, they supplied the first instance.
1 John, chapter 3, verse 12, gives the reason, wherefore slew he him?
Is the question asked? Because his own works were evil, and his brother,
righteous. Abel had done nothing wrong to King. What was wrong? His offering was acceptable to God,
and its acceptance was the offense to King. Did you ever realize that the first murderer
was over a church offering? That says a lot, doesn't it? That's what it was. There's an offering.
That's why people get very angry when you talk about offerings.
Religious spirits come out of people.
When you start talking about offerings to God,
Cain murdered his right.
But the just seek his soul.
The upright seek his soul.
This phrase, the Hebrew phrase,
seek his soul is ambiguous,
but I think we can shed some light on this.
elsewhere in scripture, the phrase always means to seek someone's life in a hostile sense,
to pursue in order to kill.
You see this in 1st Samuel 20, verse 1, Psalm 40, verse 14.
When you read it that way, the second half continues the first half.
The bloodthirsty hate the upright, and they seek his life with the just or the upright being the
object rather than the subject.
Now, the King James takes the other reading in which the just man seeks the upright man's soul
in the sense of hearing for it, seeking his or her welfare, seeking him or her out for their good.
If you accept that reading, the verse is a contrast rather than a continuation.
Some men seek to destroy, others seek good.
Both interpretations are defensible.
And I'm not going to say which one is right.
They're good men and women who teach various interpretations,
and that's fine, that's okay.
What is not in doubt is the first half of this verse.
The upright man attracts hatred.
he did not earn from men and women whose disposition is violent.
They love to kill.
They love to maim.
They love to destroy.
Matthew Henry, we quote him a lot here.
Matthew Henry observed that the upright man's danger frequently arises from his virtue rather than his faults.
and that a believer surprised to find himself or herself
resented for doing right has misunderstood the world he or she lives in.
It's just the fact of life.
We often are attacked just simply because we belong to Christ.
So verse 10 is a consistent biblical teaching that righteousness provokes hostility.
And this is a teaching that Jesus stated plainly.
And the apostles understood, and they repeat it.
John 15, verses 18 and 19, Jesus said,
If the world hate you,
ye know that it hated me before it hated you,
because ye are not of the world,
but I have chosen you out of the world.
Therefore, the world hated you.
That's plain and simple to understand.
Jesus is telling his disciples,
you're going to run into hatred,
not for anything that you've done,
but simply because you're mine in the world knows it.
And they hated me first.
And because they hate me, Jesus Christ,
they will hate you because you're my disciple.
That's a fact of life.
It's not everybody.
Not everybody hates Christians,
but there are people who have demons in them.
That's my personal view.
They have demons in them.
They hate those who serve the Holy One, Jesus Christ.
Note the reason that Jesus gave to his disciples.
The hatred is not provoked by anything the disciples do to the world.
but by what they are in relation to it.
They are chosen out of it.
Therefore, they are no longer in it.
And many wicked people recognize that.
You're not one of us.
You've left us.
You've left the world.
You've left the devil.
And you're serving this one Jesus.
And they hate you for it.
They're never going to come out and say it.
They're never going to say,
I'm mean to you because you're a good.
person. But that's really what they're saying. They're saying they are wicked, you are righteous,
and they're going to hate you for it. You're going to have people inside your close in your life,
in your inner circle that you're going to encounter this. It could be relatives, friends,
workers. And you're going to make, why are they so mean?
to me is because of the demon inside of it.
They're under conviction and your presence without you doing anything,
just your presence in the room brings conviction on you.
2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 12.
Paul said, all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
all, all that will live godly in Christ shall suffer persecution.
Paul does not present this as a possibility to be avoided by better conduct,
but as a consequence of the conduct itself.
So you're not going to avoid it.
At some point in your life, you're going to be persecuted for who you are in Christ.
1 John
Chapter 3
Verse 13
Marvel not
my brother
if the world hates you
Don't be surprised
Don't be shocked
Don't be startled
Don't be
Who is me
Why are people hating me
Don't be surprised
It's a good thing
It means that
those who are committed to Satan
recognize you as being committed to Christ
Where this becomes difficult
is that when they reveal themselves as being committed to Satan,
and it's somebody you care about, it's somebody close to you,
and that evil spirit comes out of them.
That's what's difficult.
This teaching requires two guardrails,
because it can be misapplied through erroneous teaching.
First, it must not be used to interpret every,
conflict that a believer experiences as being
righteous as being persecution for righteousness.
We've got to be careful as believers, not to accuse non-believers of hatred.
Sometimes our own behavior stirs up opposition.
You know, we have to be careful that we're not rude, that we're not
over-religious.
and we show religious pride or arrogance.
We're going to be careful.
Our language, our words need to be salted with grace.
And so sometimes we get opposition,
and we're the ones that are at cost it.
Okay. First Peter, chapter 4, verse 15,
excludes suffering as a busy body
in other men's matters.
Okay, so if you're meddling in somebody else's affairs and you get some pushback, that's not persecution.
It's just the other person saying, get you cross my boundary back off.
Second, the second guardrail, this not, this, the persecution should not ever be an excuse for provocation.
Believer may not deliberately antagonize and then claim.
that the response is hatred.
I've seen people do that, not necessarily Christians,
but there are people who will be offensive, deliberately offensive,
to provoke a response so that they can go into their victim default mode,
you know, fall down on the sidewalk, the floor,
I'm a victim, I'm a victim.
Did you see what they did to me?
You promoted it, and you did it on purpose.
There are people in the world who do this every day.
And it's a skill, okay?
It's a propaganda skill to create an offense
so that somebody can claim victimhood.
And there's usually a political motive
and an economic incentive in their victimhood.
That's all I'll say about that.
All right, how does the, you know,
before I move,
I want to mention one more thing that Jesus said.
Okay.
Scripture gives us an encouragement for those who had done right and have been hated without provocation.
We find that in Matthew 5, verses 11 and 12.
Jesus said, blessed are ye when men shall revile you.
For great is your reward in heaven.
or so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Are you aware that the old covenant prophets
murder by religious people?
Muslims didn't kill the old covenant prophets.
Hindus didn't kill the old covenant prophets.
They didn't exist.
Religious people killed.
All right. How does the Greek Septuagint see this verse, verse 10, the King James, the bloodthirsty hate the upright, but the just seek his soul. The Septuagin says, bloody men hate a holy person, but the upright seek his soul. So the Septuagent renders that Hebrew word, remember, home, blameless. Now, in the Greek, it's
It's Hosean, holy, devout, consecrated.
The shift moves the description from moral completeness
towards religious devotion to them.
It's meaningful.
The King James, the King James' blameless man
is hated for his integrity.
The Septuagint's holy man is hated for his consecration
to God. Subtle difference. So the situagent locates the offense more precisely. What the bloody
men find as intolerable is not merely that this man is honest, that he belongs to God, a belonging
that operates as a clean on territory they regard as theirs. And I concur with this viewpoint.
I was saying earlier, when people attack us as believers, they're attacking Christ.
They know that you belong to Him.
They don't care about you and what you're doing.
What makes them angry, makes them furious is that you had committed your life to Jesus Christ.
And that insults them, that angers them.
The Greek word posius means holy, righteous.
Now listen to this.
It is used in the New Testament to speak of Jesus Christ himself.
It's in Acts 2, verse 27, which quotes Psalm 1610,
neither wilt thou suffer it my holy one to see corruption.
It's the same word.
The same word that describes Jesus is the same one, same word, and the Septuagint that describes his disciple who is persecuted.
Therefore, the Greek word used for the hated man in this proverb is also used for the crucified Lord in the Book of Acts.
This connection is not incidental.
the pattern verse 10 describes reaches its fullest expression at the cross at calvary where bloody men hated the holy one of god and sought his life
and so the proverbs first half was fulfilled with complete precision all right let's move on to verse 11
The King James says, a fool uttereth all his mind, but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
Now, this is a good.
The Hebrew, literal Hebrew is all his spirit, the fool brings out.
It just lets it out, right?
A fool uttereth all his mind.
A fool allows all of his spirit to,
just be blurted out.
It's one way to identify a fool.
When their mouth is just running, they don't shut up.
And they just tell you everything that's inside of them.
Okay.
The Hebrew word,
Rewark, for spirit,
also encompasses our emotions,
our temper, our impulses,
our inner state.
So the fool
does not merely say everything he thinks.
He or she releases everything they feel.
And that's when it really comes out
because they're driven by emotions.
They're emotional people.
And they don't put any governor on their emotions.
They believe that they are entitled to express their emotions
any way that they desire.
It doesn't matter.
It hurts somebody else.
It's too bad.
They have to speak their emotions.
So the verb, yesaw, this is a Hebrew word,
means to calls to go out,
to bring forth,
to discharge.
Think of the image of a container being emptied.
Everything inside
simply exits.
There's no
evaluation of what should remain.
It goes out.
You saw. It is discharged.
So the governing word is,
the Hebrew word is fall,
K-O-L-R.
The fool's failure
is not that he or she speaks,
but that this man or woman withholds nothing.
They let it all come out.
They discharge everything.
When they go off, they're telling you everything.
Every reaction, every judgment, every irritation
makes the journey from interior to exterior
without any intervening filter.
They don't filter anything.
If they steal it, they say it.
You know anybody like this?
Do you have anybody in your life that behaves that way,
speaks that way?
You press the button on them and it explodes.
It comes out.
They don't hold it back.
It isn't always anger.
It can be in rudeness.
it can be saying the wrong thing at the wrong time,
saying something inappropriate
that in an occasion where wisdom is required
and they just, well, let me tell you what I think.
What they're saying is let me tell you how I feel.
Everything's feeling oriented.
They're emotionally driven.
This is why the fool is frequently sincere but destructive.
and they don't understand the reaction to what they say.
Because I say, but I sincerely believe this.
Yes, we agree.
You sincerely believe it.
But what you believe and what you said is destructive.
And they can't comprehend.
They have a very difficult time understanding why people are hurt or upset with them.
Because I say, but this is what I truly think.
And yes, that's the problem.
what you truly think.
That's the problem.
And the second problem is that you say what you truly think.
So this man and woman is not lying.
They are telling the exact truth about their internal state.
And the exact truth about an unexamined internal state is rarely helpful.
is frequently damaging.
But they don't care.
But a wise man keeps it in
till afterwards.
Now, at first,
you may be thinking,
but a wise man and woman keeps it in
and never expresses it.
Just stay silent about it.
That's not what the proverb says.
The proverb says a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
There's a time to speak.
There are two features in this proverb that deserve our attention.
First, the wise man keeps it in.
The verb suggests quieting, holding back.
Doesn't mean to eliminate.
Does it mean that you get rid of what you think.
thinking, what you feel is says to hold it back.
That person has reactions, internal reactions, but does not discharge it, does not let it go,
does not let it come out, not at the time.
Second, and I think this was more important, that the proverb ends with the words till
afterwards.
The wise man or woman's restraint is not.
It's not a permanent silence.
It is delay.
It's a delayed reaction.
So this is, this distinction's at the heart of this verse.
And we should not over, overlook it.
Very important.
The scripture does not commend a man or woman who never says the difficult thing.
Proverbs 27, verses 5 and 6, which we studied months ago,
those proverbs say open rebuke is better than secret love.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
So the wise man or woman here in verse 11,
Proverbs 29, will eventually say what needs to be said.
What he or she will not do is say it now.
In the heat of the moment, in the form it first took.
The wise man or woman holds it, examines it, shapes it,
and delivers his or her response when it can accomplish something of value.
The practical difference is huge.
The same content delivered in the moment of provocation wounds.
Delivered later, after it's been considered and calibrated,
your response can heal.
The words may be identical, but the timing is everything,
because there's just some things that are not appropriate to say at a certain time.
You just hold it back and wait.
Adam Carter, a great theologian,
he observed that the fool's speech cost him nothing at the moment
in everything afterward.
There's a word afterward.
While the wise man's restraint cost him considerably at the moment
and returns an investment for years.
So what are we looking at here in verse 11?
It is the biblical discipline of self-governance of our speech.
This is a discipline that the Bible treats as a principal mark of spiritual maturity.
James 3, verse 2,
if any man of then not in word the same as a perfect man and able also to bridle the whole body so the tongue
the tongue is presented as the test case a man's governing a man who governs his speech
demonstrates the capacity to govern everything else james chapter one verse 19
gives us a practical instruction,
let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath.
Be quick to hear.
Be slow to speak.
Be slow to wrath.
The slowness is prescribed,
not just permitted.
And it applies to speech and anger together.
And just as in verse 11,
that word ruah,
spirit encompasses temper, emotion, impulse, the inner state together.
Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
In earlier lessons months ago, we studied chapter 25, verse 28,
He that have no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without
laws.
So what are we learning now in Proverbs 29 verse 11?
It is identifying the mouth as the breach in the wall, which left the city undefended.
Speech is not one topic among many in the Holy Bible.
Speech is treated throughout the Bible as the visible measure of our in
Colonel governance.
What a man or woman does with his or her mouth
reports what he or she has done with his or her soul.
Proverbs 17, verse 27 and 28,
He that hath knowledge spares his words.
Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is considered wise.
So the restraint.
So the restraint itself creates
the appearance of wisdom that even a fool who keeps his mouth shut people would think is wise
which is why his absence exposes the fool the absence of restraint that exposes the fool
that's how you know if somebody's foolish they have no control over their mouth
all right let's take a look at how the greeks of tuagint looks at chapter or verse 11 chapter 29
The King James version, a fool uttereth all his mind,
but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
The subtuagint a fool utters all his mind,
but the wise reserves his in part.
The subtuagent, the first half of the subtergent tracks the King James closely.
It preserves the crucial all, right?
King James says the fool utters all his mind.
The Septuagin says a fool utters all his minds identically.
The second half has a slight difference where the King James has the wise man keeping his spirit in until afterward.
There's a temporal restraint.
The Septuagin has him reserving it in part, storing up.
by portions. So the King James emphasizes when, the Septuagint emphasizes how much.
One says the wise man delays. The other says he releases selectively what's inside him.
Both interpretations are complementary. Some things should be said later. Some things should never be said at all.
and some things should be said in measured portions rather than in full.
And so I think wisdom exercises all three at various times.
It is the discernment to know the right time to do one of those three things.
There's an ancient, there's a Greek verb,
pomeaio, that means to store up, to reserve.
to act as a treasurer.
And so when we studied Proverbs 26,
we encountered the same root word
at the Septuagin's rendering of
verse 22 of chapter 26,
where the tail bearer's words
were deposited in the storerooms of their inward parts.
See how we, as we progress in studying Proverbs,
it's layer upon layer.
As we understand one chapter, it helps us understand the next chapter.
So in Proverbs 26, the talebearer, the gossiper, the one who bears tales about somebody else, stories.
Their words are stored involuntarily in a person who hears their tales.
The wise man's words are stored deliberately by the story.
speaker of the wise man and woman.
One man's mouth fills another storehouse.
The other man keeps his own storehouse.
That's the difference.
So together, the King James and the Septuagint supply a full understanding of verse 11.
The wise man or woman releases some of what is in him or her.
at the right time in the right measure.
And the fool releases all of it immediately in whatever form it first took.
That's the difference between the fool and the wise person.
John Gill, he was a Baptist pastor back in early 1700s.
He taught that the significance of the Septuagint's storehouse in verse 11 lies in the wise man being
described as keeping a treasury of what he has not said, a deliberate reserve held under his
own control rather than discharged at every provocation. The things in your life you just
have held back. You have something to say about something, but you've not said it. And maybe
there's a sign of your wisdom. That it just wasn't a right time.
and maybe years later, it's still not the right time.
That's a sign of wisdom.
And I hope you ponder this,
that the wise man or woman releases some of what is inside you
at the right time, in the right proportion, the right measure.
But the fool releases everything.
They just blurt it out.
It comes out like a sewer pipe.
It just opens up.
They don't care who's hurt.
They don't care.
The damage is done.
They don't care.
Because it's about their emotions, their feelings.
They're driven by their emotions and feelings.
You've got to choose which one would you like to be.
The wise, man, woman, or the fool?
That's our lesson for today.
