Proverbs 15章 ESV | 微讀聖經

115:1 [ch. 25:15]; See Judg. 8:1-3A soft answer turns away wrath,

but 15:1 See 1 Sam. 25:10-13; 1 Kgs. 12:13-16a harsh word stirs up anger.

2The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,

but 15:2 [ver. 28; ch. 12:23; 13:16; 18:2]the mouths of fools pour out folly.

315:3 See Job 31:4The eyes of the Lord are in every place,

keeping watch on the evil and the good.

415:4 [ch. 12:18] A gentle15:4 Or healing tongue is 15:4 See ch. 3:18a tree of life,

but 15:4 ch. 11:3perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

515:5 [ch. 10:1] A fool 15:5 [Ps. 107:11] despises his father’s instruction,

but 15:5 [ch. 13:18]whoever heeds reproof is prudent.

6In the house of the righteous there is much treasure,

but trouble befalls the income of the wicked.

715:7 [Matt. 12:34, 35]The lips of the wise spread knowledge;

15:7 [Matt. 12:34, 35]not so the hearts of fools.15:7 Or the hearts of fools are not steadfast

815:8 ch. 21:27; Eccles. 5:1; Isa. 1:11, 15The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,

but 15:8 [ver. 29]the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.

9The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,

but he loves him 15:9 ch. 21:21; 1 Tim. 6:11; [ch. 11:19]who pursues righteousness.

10There is 15:10 [Isa. 1:5] severe discipline for him who forsakes the way;

15:10 See ch. 12:1whoever hates reproof will die.

11Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord;

how much more 15:11 2 Chr. 6:30; Ps. 44:21; John 2:24; See 1 Sam. 16:7the hearts of the children of man!

1215:12 See Ps. 1:1A scoffer 15:12 Amos 5:10does not like to be reproved;

he will not go to the wise.

1315:13 [ver. 15; ch. 17:22] A glad heart makes a cheerful face,

but by 15:13 See ch. 12:25sorrow of heart the spirit is 15:13 ch. 18:14crushed.

1415:14 ch. 14:6; 19:24The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,

but the mouths of fools feed on folly.

15All the days of the afflicted are evil,

but 15:15 ver. 13the cheerful of heart has a continual feast.

1615:16 ch. 16:8; Ps. 37:16; [1 Tim. 6:6]Better is a little with the fear of the Lord

than great treasure and trouble with it.

1715:17 ch. 17:1Better is a dinner of herbs where love is

than 15:17 [Matt. 22:4; Luke 15:23]a fattened ox and hatred with it.

1815:18 ch. 29:22; [ch. 16:28; 26:21] A hot-tempered man 15:18 ch. 28:25stirs up strife,

but he who is 15:18 See ch. 14:29slow to anger quiets contention.

19The way of 15:19 ch. 19:24; 22:13a sluggard is like a hedge of 15:19 ch. 22:5thorns,

but the path of the upright is 15:19 Jer. 18:15a level highway.

2015:20 See ch. 29:3A wise son makes a glad father,

but a foolish man despises his mother.

2115:21 ch. 10:23Folly is a joy to him who lacks sense,

but a man of understanding 15:21 [Eph. 5:15]walks straight ahead.

2215:22 ch. 11:14; [ch. 20:18]Without counsel plans fail,

but with many advisers they succeed.

23To make an apt answer is a joy to a man,

and 15:23 ch. 25:11; [Isa. 50:4]a word in season, how good it is!

24The path of life leads upward 15:24 Col. 3:1, 2; [ch. 2:18, 19; Phil. 3:20]for the prudent,

that he may turn away from Sheol beneath.

25The Lord tears down the house of 15:25 [ch. 29:23] the proud

but 15:25 [ch. 23:10] maintains 15:25 [Ps. 68:5; 146:9]the widow’s boundaries.

2615:26 ch. 6:16, 18The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,

but 15:26 ch. 16:24gracious words are pure.

27Whoever is 15:27 ch. 1:19; [Isa. 5:8; Jer. 17:11] greedy for unjust gain 15:27 ch. 11:29; [Josh. 7:25] troubles his own household,

but he who hates 15:27 ch. 17:23bribes will live.

28The heart of the righteous 15:28 Ps. 37:30ponders how to answer,

but 15:28 [1 Pet. 3:15]; See ver. 2the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

29The Lord is 15:29 [Ps. 18:41; 34:16] far from the wicked,

but he 15:29 Ps. 145:18, 19; [ver. 8]hears the prayer of the righteous.

3015:30 Ps. 38:10The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,

and 15:30 [ch. 25:25]good news refreshes15:30 Hebrew makes fat the bones.

3115:31 ver. 5; ch. 20:12; 25:12The ear that listens to 15:31 [ch. 6:23]life-giving reproof

will dwell among the wise.

32Whoever 15:32 [ch. 8:33] ignores instruction 15:32 See ch. 8:36despises himself,

but he who listens to reproof 15:32 [ch. 19:8]gains intelligence.

3315:33 See ch. 1:7The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom,

and 15:33 ch. 18:12humility comes before honor.
