Proverbs 18:4 in Context — Proverbs 18
2 No toma placer el necio en la inteligencia, sino en lo que su corazón se descubre.
3 Cuando viene el impío, viene también el menosprecio, y con el deshonrador la afrenta.
4 Aguas profundas son las palabras de la boca del hombre; y arroyo revertiente, la fuente de la sabiduría.
5 Tener respeto á la persona del impío, para hacer caer al justo de [su] derecho, no es bueno.
6 Los labios del necio vienen con pleito; y su boca á cuestiones llama.
