Proverbs 20:21 in Context — Proverbs 20
19 El que descubre el secreto, en chismes anda: no te entrometas, pues, con el que lisonjea con sus labios.
20 El que maldice á su padre ó á su madre, su lámpara será apagada en oscuridad tenebrosa.
21 La herencia adquirida de priesa al principio, aun su postrimería no será bendita.
22 No digas, yo me vengaré; espera á Jehová, y él te salvará.
23 Abominación son á Jehová las pesas dobles; y el peso falso no es bueno.
