Proverbios 15
Dios Habla Hoy
15 La respuesta amable calma el enojo;
la respuesta violenta lo excita más.
2 De la lengua de los sabios brota sabiduría;
de la boca de los necios, necedades.
3 El Señor está en todo lugar
vigilando a los buenos y a los malos.
4 La lengua amable es un árbol de vida;
la lengua perversa hace daño al espíritu.
5 El necio desprecia la corrección de su padre;
el que la atiende, demuestra inteligencia.
6 Gran abundancia hay en casa del hombre honrado,
pero al malvado no le aprovechan sus ganancias.
7 Los sabios esparcen sabiduría con sus labios;
los necios, con su mente, hacen todo lo contrario.
8 El Señor no soporta las ofrendas de los malvados,
pero recibe con agrado la oración de los justos.
9 El Señor no soporta la conducta de los malvados,
pero ama a quien vive una vida recta.
10 Al que deja el buen camino se le corrige con dureza;
el que odia la reprensión, morirá.
11 Si a la vista del Señor están la muerte y el sepulcro,
¡con mayor razón los pensamientos de los hombres!
12 El insolente no ama al que le reprende,
ni busca la compañía de los sabios.
13 Corazón alegre, cara feliz;
corazón enfermo, semblante triste.
14 La mente inteligente busca el saber,
pero los necios se alimentan de necedades.
15 Para quien está afligido, todos los días son malos;
para quien está contento, son una fiesta constante.
16 Más vale ser pobre y honrar al Señor,
que ser rico y vivir angustiado.
17 Más vale comer verduras con amor,
que carne de res con odio.
18 El que es impulsivo provoca peleas;
el que es paciente las apacigua.
19 Para el perezoso, el camino está lleno de espinas;
para el hombre recto, el camino es amplia calzada.
20 El hijo sabio alegra a sus padres;
el hijo necio los menosprecia.
21 El imprudente goza con su necedad;
el inteligente corrige sus propios pasos.
22 Cuando no hay consulta, los planes fracasan;
el éxito depende de los muchos consejeros.
23 ¡Qué grato es hallar la respuesta apropiada,
y aún más cuando es oportuna!
24 El camino de la vida va cuesta arriba,
y libra al sabio de bajar al sepulcro.
25 El Señor destruye la casa del orgulloso,
pero mantiene invariable la propiedad de la viuda.
26 El Señor no soporta los planes malvados,
pero le agradan las palabras sin malicia.
27 El que se da a la codicia arruina su propia casa,
pero el que rechaza el soborno, vivirá.
28 El hombre justo piensa lo que ha de responder,
pero el malvado lanza maldad por la boca.
29 El Señor se aleja de los malvados,
pero atiende a la oración de los justos.
30 Los ojos radiantes alegran el corazón;
las buenas noticias dan nuevas fuerzas.
31 El que atiende a la reprensión que da vida,
tendrá un lugar entre los sabios.
32 El que desprecia la corrección no se aprecia a sí mismo;
el que atiende a la reprensión adquiere entendimiento.
33 El honrar al Señor instruye en la sabiduría;
para recibir honores, primero hay que ser humilde.
Proverbs 15
New King James Version
A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
15 A (A)soft answer turns away wrath,
But (B)a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly,
(C)But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.
3 (D)The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
Keeping watch on the evil and the good.
4 A [a]wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
6 In the house of the righteous there is much treasure,
But in the revenue of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise [c]disperse knowledge,
But the heart of the fool does not do so.
8 (G)The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But He loves him who (H)follows righteousness.
11 (K)Hell[d] and [e]Destruction are before the Lord;
So how much more (L)the hearts of the sons of men.
12 (M)A scoffer does not love one who corrects him,
Nor will he go to the wise.
13 (N)A merry heart makes a cheerful [f]countenance,
But (O)by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil,
(P)But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
16 (Q)Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble.
17 (R)Better is a dinner of [g]herbs where love is,
Than a fatted calf with hatred.
18 (S)A wrathful man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger allays contention.
19 (T)The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns,
But the way of the upright is a highway.
20 (U)A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.
21 (V)Folly is joy to him who is destitute of [h]discernment,
(W)But a man of understanding walks uprightly.
22 (X)Without counsel, plans go awry,
But in the multitude of counselors they are established.
25 (AB)The Lord will destroy the house of the proud,
But (AC)He will establish the boundary of the widow.
26 (AD)The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,
(AE)But the words of the pure are pleasant.
27 (AF)He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house,
But he who hates bribes will live.
28 The heart of the righteous (AG)studies how to answer,
But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,
And a good report makes the bones [k]healthy.
31 The ear that hears the rebukes of life
Will abide among the wise.
32 He who disdains instruction despises his own soul,
But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.
33 (AJ)The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom,
And (AK)before honor is humility.

Proverbs 15
King James Version
15 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
