Proverbes 14:30-35

30 Un cœur tranquille est la vie du corps; mais l'envie est la carie des os.

31 Celui qui fait tort au pauvre, déshonore celui qui l'a fait; mais celui-là l'honore qui a pitié du nécessiteux.

32 Dans le malheur, le méchant est renversé; mais le juste reste en assurance, même dans la mort.

33 La sagesse repose dans le cœur de l'homme entendu; elle est même reconnue au milieu des insensés.

34 La justice élève une nation; mais le péché est la honte des peuples.

35 La faveur du roi est pour le serviteur prudent; mais il aura de l'indignation contre celui qui lui fait honte.

Proverbes 14:30-35 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.
