Proverbs 27:7 in Context — Proverbs 27

5 Mejor es reprensión manifiesta que amor oculto.

6 Fieles son las heridas del que ama; pero importunos los besos del que aborrece.

7 El alma harta huella el panal de miel; mas al alma hambrienta todo lo amargo es dulce.

8 Cual ave que se va de su nido, tal es el hombre que se va de su lugar.

9 El ungüento y el perfume alegran el corazón: y el amigo al hombre con el cordial consejo.
