Proverbs 17:25 in Context — Proverbs 17
23 El impío toma dádiva del seno, para pervertir las sendas del derecho.
24 En el rostro del entendido [aparece] la sabiduría: mas los ojos del necio [vagan] hasta el cabo de la tierra.
25 El hijo necio es enojo á su padre, y amargura á la que lo engendró.
26 Ciertamente no es bueno condenar al justo, ni herir á los príncipes que hacen lo recto.
27 Detiene sus dichos el que tiene sabiduría: de prudente espíritu es el hombre entendido.
