Proverbs 22:3 in Context — Proverbs 22
1 DE más estima es la buena fama que las muchas riquezas; y la buena gracia más que la plata y el oro.
2 El rico y el pobre se encontraron: á todos ellos hizo Jehová.
3 El avisado ve el mal, y escóndese: mas los simples pasan, y reciben el daño.
4 Riquezas, y honra, y vida, [son] la remuneración de la humildad [y] del temor de Jehová.
5 Espinas [y] lazos hay en el camino del perverso: el que guarda su alma se alejará de ellos.
