Proverbios 14:1-8

1 La mujer sabia edifica su casa;la necia, con sus manos la destruye.

2 El que va por buen camino teme al SEÑOR;el que va por mal camino lo desprecia.

3 De la boca del necio brota arrogancia;los labios del sabio son su propia protección.

4 Donde no hay bueyes el granero está vacío;con la fuerza del buey aumenta la cosecha.

5 El testigo verdadero jamás engaña;el testigo falso propaga mentiras.

6 El insolente busca sabiduría y no la halla;para el entendido, el conocimiento es cosa fácil.

7 Manténte a distancia del necio,pues en sus labios no hallarás conocimiento.

8 La sabiduría del prudente es discernir sus caminos,pero al necio lo engaña su propia necedad.

Proverbios 14:1-8 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.
