Proverbs 24:23 in Context — Proverbs 24
21 Teme á Jehová, hijo mío, y al rey; no te entrometas con los veleidosos:
22 Porque su quebrantamiento se levantará de repente; y el quebrantamiento de ambos, ¿quién lo comprende?
23 También estas cosas [pertenecen] á los sabios. Tener respeto á personas en el juicio no es bueno.
24 El que dijere al malo, Justo eres, los pueblos lo maldecirán, y le detestarán las naciones:
25 Mas los que [lo] reprenden, serán agradables, y sobre ellos vendrá bendición de bien.
