Proverbios 15:1-6

1 La suave respuesta aparta el furor, mas la palabra hiriente hace subir la ira.

2 La lengua del sabio hace grato el conocimiento, pero la boca de los necios habla necedades.

3 En todo lugar están los ojos del SEÑOR, observando a los malos y a los buenos.

4 La lengua apacible es árbol de vida, mas la perversidad en ella quebranta el espíritu.

5 El necio rechaza la disciplina de su padre, mas el que acepta la reprensión es prudente.

6 En la casa del justo hay mucha riqueza, pero en las ganancias del impío hay turbación.

Proverbios 15:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST KINGS 5

This chapter relates Solomon's preparation for building the temple: on Hiram, king of Tyre, sending a congratulatory letter to him, he returned another to him, signifying his intention to build an house for God, and requesting him to supply him with timber, and men to work it, 1Ki 5:1-6; to which Hiram readily agreed, and sent him cedar and fir, and Solomon in return sent him food for his household; and things went on very amicably between them, 1Ki 5:7-12; the chapter concludes with an account of Solomon's workmen, where, how, and in what they were employed, 1Ki 5:13-18.
