Proverbs 21:6 in Context — Proverbs 21
4 Altivez de ojos, y orgullo de corazón, y el brillo de los impíos, son pecado.
5 Los pensamientos del solícito ciertamente [van] á abundancia; mas todo presuroso, indefectiblemente á pobreza.
6 Allegar tesoros con lengua de mentira, es vanidad desatentada de aquellos que buscan la muerte.
7 La rapiña de los impíos los destruirá; por cuanto no quisieron hacer juicio.
8 El camino del hombre perverso es torcido y extraño: mas la obra del limpio es recta.
