Proverbs 10:14 in Context — Proverbs 10
12 El odio despierta rencillas: mas la caridad cubrirá todas las faltas.
13 En los labios del prudente se halla sabiduría: y vara á las espaldas del falto de cordura.
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.
