Proverbs 21:8 in Context — Proverbs 21
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.
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.
