Proverbs 11:22 in Context — Proverbs 11
20 Abominación son á Jehová los perversos de corazón: mas los perfectos de camino le son agradables.
21 [Aunque llegue] la mano á la mano, el malo no quedará sin castigo: mas la simiente de los justos escapará.
22 Zarcillo de oro en la nariz del puerco, [es] la mujer hermosa y apartada de razón.
23 El deseo de los justos es solamente bien: [mas] la esperanza de los impíos es enojo.
24 Hay quienes reparten, y les es añadido más: y hay quienes son escasos más de lo que es justo, mas vienen á pobreza.
