Proverbs 16:20 in Context — Proverbs 16
18 Antes del quebrantamiento [es] la soberbia; y antes de la caída la altivez de espíritu.
19 Mejor es humillar el espíritu con los humildes, que partir despojos con los soberbios.
20 El entendido en la palabra, hallará el bien: y el que confía en Jehová, él es bienaventurado.
21 El sabio de corazón es llamado entendido: y la dulzura de labios aumentará la doctrina.
22 Manantial de vida es el entendimiento al que lo posee: mas la erudición de los necios es necedad.
