Provérbios 12:1-6

1 O que ama a correção ama o conhecimento; mas o que aborrece a repreensão é insensato.

2 O homem de bem alcançará o favor do Senhor; mas ao homem de perversos desígnios ele condenará.

3 O homem não se estabelece pela impiedade; a raiz dos justos, porém, nunca será, removida.

4 A mulher virtuosa é a coroa do seu marido; porém a que procede vergonhosamente é como apodrecimento nos seus ossos.

5 Os pensamentos do justo são retos; mas os conselhos do ímpio são falsos.

6 As palavras dos ímpios são emboscadas para derramarem sangue; a boca dos retos, porém, os livrará.

Provérbios 12:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST KING 2

This chapter gives an account of the charge David gave to his son Solomon, a little before his death, to walk in the ways of the Lord, 1Ki 2:1-4; and of some instructions delivered to him concerning some particular persons he should either show favour to, or execute justice on, 1Ki 2:5-9; and the next account in it is concerning his death and burial, and the years of his reign, 1Ki 2:10,11; after which it relates an address of Bathsheba to Solomon in favour of Adonijah, which was refused, and the issue of it was his death, 1Ki 2:12-25; and the deposition of Abiathar from the priesthood, 1Ki 2:26,27; and the putting of Joab to death for his treason and murders, 1Ki 2:28-34; in whose post Benaiah was put, as Zadok was in the place of Abiathar, 1Ki 2:35; and lastly the confinement of Shimei in Jerusalem, who had cursed David, 1Ki 2:36-38; who upon transgressing the orders given him was put to death, 1Ki 2:39-46.
