“When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting foundation”
- Proverbs 10:25 (NASB)
A simple package to grab a Bible proverb corresponding to the day of the month.
Installation
Install the released version of proverbs from CRAN:
install.packages("proverbs")You can install the development version of proverbs like so:
# 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.
