Proverbes 12:1-6

1 Celui qui aime la correction, aime la science; mais celui qui hait d'être repris, est un insensé.

2 L'homme de bien attire la faveur de l'Éternel; mais Dieu condamnera l'homme qui est plein de malice.

3 L'homme ne sera point affermi par la méchanceté; mais la racine des justes ne sera point ébranlée.

4 Une femme vertueuse est la couronne de son mari; mais celle qui fait honte est comme la carie à ses os.

5 Les pensées des justes ne sont que justice; mais les conseils des méchants ne sont que fraude.

6 Les paroles des méchants sont des embûches, pour répandre le sang; mais la bouche des hommes droits les délivrera.

Proverbes 12:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST KING 2

This chapter gives an account of the charge David gave to his son Solomon, a little before his death, to walk in the ways of the Lord, 1Ki 2:1-4; and of some instructions delivered to him concerning some particular persons he should either show favour to, or execute justice on, 1Ki 2:5-9; and the next account in it is concerning his death and burial, and the years of his reign, 1Ki 2:10,11; after which it relates an address of Bathsheba to Solomon in favour of Adonijah, which was refused, and the issue of it was his death, 1Ki 2:12-25; and the deposition of Abiathar from the priesthood, 1Ki 2:26,27; and the putting of Joab to death for his treason and murders, 1Ki 2:28-34; in whose post Benaiah was put, as Zadok was in the place of Abiathar, 1Ki 2:35; and lastly the confinement of Shimei in Jerusalem, who had cursed David, 1Ki 2:36-38; who upon transgressing the orders given him was put to death, 1Ki 2:39-46.
