Proverbs 15:10-20

Share

Settings

10 There is 1severe discipline for him who forsakes the way; 2whoever hates reproof will die.
11 Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD; how much more 3the hearts of the children of man!
12 4A scoffer 5does not like to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.
13 6A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by 7sorrow of heart the spirit is 8crushed.
14 9The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil, but 10the cheerful of heart has a continual feast.
16 11Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble with it.
17 12Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than 13a fattened ox and hatred with it.
18 14A hot-tempered man 15stirs up strife, but he who is 16slow to anger quiets contention.
19 The way of 17a sluggard is like a hedge of 18thorns, but the path of the upright is 19a level highway.
20 20A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother.

Proverbs 15:10-20 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST KINGS 5

This chapter relates Solomon's preparation for building the temple: on Hiram, king of Tyre, sending a congratulatory letter to him, he returned another to him, signifying his intention to build an house for God, and requesting him to supply him with timber, and men to work it, 1Ki 5:1-6; to which Hiram readily agreed, and sent him cedar and fir, and Solomon in return sent him food for his household; and things went on very amicably between them, 1Ki 5:7-12; the chapter concludes with an account of Solomon's workmen, where, how, and in what they were employed, 1Ki 5:13-18.
