Proverbs 21:11 in Context — Proverbs 21
9 Mejor es vivir en un rincón de zaquizamí, que con la mujer rencillosa en espaciosa casa.
10 El alma del impío desea mal: su prójimo no le parece bien.
11 Cuando el escarnecedor es castigado, el simple se hace sabio; y cuando se amonestare al sabio, aprenderá ciencia.
12 Considera el justo la casa del impío: [cómo] los impíos son trastornados por el mal.
13 El que cierra su oído al clamor del pobre, también él clamará, y no será oído.
