Proverbs 10:16 in Context — Proverbs 10
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.
