Proverbs 12:4 in Context — Proverbs 12
2 El bueno alcanzará favor de Jehová: mas él condenará al hombre de malos pensamientos.
3 El hombre no se afirmará por medio de la impiedad: mas la raíz de los justos no será movida.
4 La mujer virtuosa corona es de su marido: mas la mala, como carcoma en sus huesos.
5 Los pensamientos de los justos son rectitud; [mas] los consejos de los impíos, engaño.
6 Las palabras de los impíos son para acechar la sangre: mas la boca de los rectos los librará.
