Proverbs 11:23 in Context — Proverbs 11
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.
25 El alma liberal será engordada: y el que saciare, él también será saciado.
