Proverbs 16:24 in Context — Proverbs 16
22 Manantial de vida es el entendimiento al que lo posee: mas la erudición de los necios es necedad.
23 El corazón del sabio hace prudente su boca; y con sus labios aumenta la doctrina.
24 Panal de miel son los dichos suaves: suavidad al alma y medicina á los huesos.
25 Hay camino que parece derecho al hombre, mas su salida son caminos de muerte.
26 El alma del que trabaja, trabaja para sí; porque su boca le constriñe.
