Proverbs 10:15 in Context — Proverbs 10

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.

17 Camino á la vida es guardar la corrección: mas el que deja la reprensión, yerra.
