Proverbios 14:1-6

1 LA mujer sabia edifica su casa: Mas la necia con sus manos la derriba.

2 El que camina en su rectitud teme á Jehová: Mas el pervertido en sus caminos lo menosprecia.

3 En la boca del necio está la vara de la soberbia: Mas los labios de los sabios los guardarán.

4 Sin bueyes el granero está limpio: Mas por la fuerza del buey hay abundancia de pan.

5 El testigo verdadero no mentirá: Mas el testigo falso hablará mentiras.

6 Busca el escarnecedor la sabiduría, y no la halla: Mas la sabiduría al hombre entendido es fácil.

Proverbios 14:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST KINGS 4

As in the preceding chapter we have a proof of the wisdom and understanding which the Lord gave to Solomon, as promised, so in this an account is given of the riches and honour he was possessed of; of him, as king over all Israel, and of his princes, 1Ki 4:1-6; of the providers of food for his household in the several parts of the land, 1Ki 4:7-19; of the largeness and extent of his dominions, and of the peace and prosperity thereof, 1Ki 4:20,21,24,25; of his daily provisions for his household and for his cattle, 1Ki 4:22,23,26-28; and of his superior wisdom and knowledge to all others in all nations, which brought some out of all to hear it, 1Ki 4:29-34.
