Proverbs 18:6 in Context — Proverbs 18
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.
7 La boca del necio es quebrantamiento para sí, y sus labios son lazos para su alma.
8 Las palabras del chismoso parecen blandas, y descienden hasta lo íntimo del vientre.
