Proverbs 16:31 in Context — Proverbs 16

29 El hombre malo lisonjea á su prójimo, y le hace andar por el camino no bueno:

30 Cierra sus ojos para pensar perversidades; mueve sus labios, efectúa el mal.

31 Corona de honra es la vejez, que se hallará en el camino de justicia.

32 Mejor es el que tarde se aira que el fuerte; y el que se enseñorea de su espíritu, que el que toma una ciudad.

33 La suerte se echa en el seno: mas de Jehová es el juicio de ella.
