Proverbs 22:17 in Context — Proverbs 22
15 La necedad está ligada en el corazón del muchacho; [mas] la vara de la corrección la hará alejar de él.
16 El que oprime al pobre para aumentarse él, y que da al rico, ciertamente [será] pobre.
17 Inclina tu oído, y oye las palabras de los sabios, y pon tu corazón á mi sabiduría:
18 Porque es cosa deleitable, si las guardares en tus entrañas; y que juntamente sean ordenadas en tus labios.
19 Para que tu confianza sea en Jehová, te [las] he hecho saber hoy á ti también.
