*- Proverbs 10:25 (NASB)*
[](https://github.com/bradlindblad/proverbs/actions) [](https://github.com/bradlindblad/proverbs/actions/workflows/pkgdown.yaml) [](https://app.codecov.io/gh/bradlindblad/proverbs?branch=master) [](https://lifecycle.r-lib.org/articles/stages.html#stable) [](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=proverbs)
A simple package to grab a Bible proverb corresponding to the day of the month.
## Installation
Install the released version of proverbs from CRAN:
``` r
install.packages("proverbs")
```
You can install the development version of proverbs like so:
``` r
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("bradlindblad/proverbs")
```
## Usage
The proverbs package was built to do one thing: print out a daily proverb to your R console. There are 31 proverbs, and up to 31 days in each month.
Many people like to read a proverb for each day of the month, so they end up reading proverbs once a month, twelve times a year.
This package prints the chapter of proverbs that corresponds to that day of the month; ie. on the 21st of June proverbs will print Proverbs 21.

Proverbs 30
For Sunday, January 30 2022
1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the revelation:
the man says to Ithiel,
to Ithiel and Ucal:
2 “Surely I am the most ignorant man,
and don’t have a man’s understanding.
3 I have not learned wisdom,
neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.
...
```
### translations()
You can also change the Bible translation to one of many open source/public versions. Check these out with this function:
``` r
proverbs::translations()
```
``` text
