Proverbs 21:14 in Context — Proverbs 21

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.

14 El presente en secreto amansa el furor, y el don en el seno, la fuerte ira.

15 Alegría es al justo hacer juicio; mas quebrantamiento á los que hacen iniquidad.

16 El hombre que se extravía del camino de la sabiduría, vendrá á parar en la compañía de los muertos.
