Proverbs 19:12 in Context — Proverbs 19
10 No conviene al necio el deleite: ¡cuánto menos al siervo ser señor de los príncipes!
11 La cordura del hombre detiene su furor; y su honra es disimular la ofensa.
12 Como el bramido del cachorro de león es la ira del rey; y su favor como el rocío sobre la hierba.
13 Dolor es para su padre el hijo necio; y gotera continua las contiendas de la mujer.
14 La casa y las riquezas herencia son de los padres: mas de Jehová la mujer prudente.
