Proverbi 14:1-7

1 La donna savia edifica la sua casa, ma la stolta l’abbatte con le proprie mani.
2 Chi cammina nella rettitudine teme l’Eterno, ma chi è pervertito nelle sue vie lo sprezza.
3 Nella bocca dello stolto germoglia la superbia, ma le labbra dei savi son la loro custodia.
4 Dove mancano i buoi è vuoto il granaio, ma l’abbondanza della raccolta sta nella forza del bove.
5 Il testimonio fedele non mentisce, ma il testimonio falso spaccia menzogne.
6 Il beffardo cerca la sapienza e non la trova, ma per l’uomo intelligente la scienza è cosa facile.
7 Vattene lungi dallo stolto; sulle sue labbra certo non hai trovato scienza.

Proverbi 14:1-7 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.
