Proverbs 17:3 in Context — Proverbs 17
1 MEJOR es un bocado seco, y en paz, que la casa de contienda llena de víctimas.
2 El siervo prudente se enseñoreará del hijo que deshonra, y entre los hermanos partirá la herencia.
3 El crisol para la plata, y la hornaza para el oro: mas Jehová prueba los corazones.
4 El malo está atento al labio inicuo; [y] el mentiroso escucha á la lengua detractora.
5 El que escarnece al pobre, afrenta á su Hacedor: y el que se alegra en la calamidad, no quedará sin castigo.
