Proverbios 15:28-33

28 El corazón del justo piensa bien antes de hablar;
la boca de los perversos rebosa de palabras malvadas.

29 El Señor
está lejos de los perversos,
pero oye las oraciones de los justos.

30 Una mirada alegre trae gozo al corazón;
las buenas noticias contribuyen a la buena salud.

31 Si escuchas la crítica constructiva,
te sentirás en casa entre los sabios.

32 Si rechazas la disciplina, sólo te harás daño a ti mismo,
pero si escuchas la corrección, crecerás en entendimiento.

33 El temor del Señor
enseña sabiduría;
la humildad precede a la honra.

Proverbios 15:28-33 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.
