Proverbios 10:14-24

Listen to Proverbios 10:14-24
14 Los sabios guardan la sabiduría: Mas la boca del loco es calamidad cercana.
15 Las riquezas del rico son su ciudad fuerte; Y el desmayo de los pobres es su pobreza.
16 La obra del justo es para vida; Mas el fruto del impío es para pecado.
17 Camino á la vida es guardar la corrección: Mas el que deja la reprensión, yerra.
18 El que encubre el odio es de labios mentirosos; Y el que echa mala fama es necio.
19 En las muchas palabras no falta pecado: Mas el que refrena sus labios es prudente.
20 Plata escogida es la lengua del justo: Mas el entendimiento de los impíos es como nada.
21 Los labios del justo apacientan á muchos: Mas los necios por falta de entendimiento mueren.
22 La bendición de Jehová es la que enriquece, Y no añade tristeza con ella.
23 Hacer abominación es como risa al insensato: Mas el hombre entendido sabe.
24 Lo que el impío teme, eso le vendrá: Mas á los justos les será dado lo que desean.

Proverbios 10:14-24 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PROVERBS 10

From this chapter to the "twenty fifth" are various proverbial sentences, without any very apparent connection or coherence with each other; describing righteous and wicked men; setting forth their different temper, conduct, and actions, and the fruits and effects of them. It should be observed, that frequently in the preceding chapters two persons are represented as women; one goes by the name of "Wisdom", the other is called the "foolish" woman and a "harlot"; the former is clearly to be understood of Christ; and the latter, being opposed to him, must be antichrist, the whore of Rome, and mother of harlots: now in the following part of this book two sorts of persons are spoken of; the one as wise, righteous, good and the other as foolish, wicked, &c. who are no other than the followers of Christ and antichrist; which observation is a key to the whole book.
