Proverbs 24:12 in Context — Proverbs 24
10 Si fueres flojo en el día de trabajo, tu fuerza será reducida.
11 Si dejares de librar los que son tomados para la muerte, y los que son llevados al degolladero;
12 Si dijeres: Ciertamente no lo supimos; ¿no lo entenderá el que pesa los corazones? El que mira por tu alma, él lo conocerá, y dará al hombre según sus obras.
13 Come, hijo mío, de la miel, porque es buena, y del panal dulce á tu paladar:
14 Tal será el conocimiento de la sabiduría á tu alma: si la hallares tendrá recompensa, y al fin tu esperanza no será cortada.
