Proverbs 18:7 in Context — Proverbs 18
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.
9 También el que es negligente en su obra es hermano del hombre disipador.
