Provérbios 26:12-22

12 Você conhece alguém que se julga sábio?Há mais esperança para o insensato do que para ele.

13 O preguiçoso diz: “Lá está um leão no caminho,um leão feroz rugindo nas ruas!”

14 Como a porta gira em suas dobradiças,assim o preguiçoso se revira em sua cama.

15 O preguiçoso coloca a mão no prato,mas acha difícil demais levá-la de volta à boca.

16 O preguiçoso considera-se mais sábiodo que sete homens que respondem com bom senso.

17 Como alguém que pega pelas orelhas um cão qualquer,assim é quem se mete em discussão alheia.

18 Como o louco que atirabrasas e flechas mortais,

19 assim é o homem que engana o seu próximoe diz: “Eu estava só brincando!”

20 Sem lenha a fogueira se apaga;sem o caluniador morre a contenda.

21 O que o carvão é para as brasas e a lenha para a fogueira,o amigo de brigas é para atiçar discórdias.

22 As palavras do caluniador são como petiscos deliciosos;descem saborosos até o íntimo.

Provérbios 26:12-22 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 1 KINGS 13

In this chapter is an account of a man of God being sent to exclaim against Jeroboam's altar, and threaten its destruction, of which he gave a sign, which was accomplished, and with it the withering of the king's hand, which was healed upon the prophet's prayer for him, 1Ki 13:1-7, who would have entertained him at his house, but he refused the offer, and departed, 1Ki 13:8-10, but an old prophet in Bethel hearing of him, rode after him, and fetched him back to eat bread with him, through a lie he told him, 1Ki 13:11-19 upon which the word came to the old prophet, threatening the man of God with death for disobeying his command, and which was accordingly executed by a lion that met him in the way, and slew him, 1Ki 13:20-24, of which the old prophet being informed, went and took up his carcass, and buried it in his own sepulchre, where he charged his sons to bury him also when dead, believing that all the man of God had said would be fulfilled, 1Ki 13:25-30 and the chapter is closed with observing the continuance of Jeroboam in his idolatry, 1Ki 13:33,34.
