Proverbs 10:17 in Context — Proverbs 10

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.

19 En las muchas palabras no falta pecado: mas el que refrena sus labios es prudente.
