Proverbs 28:17 in Context — Proverbs 28
15 León rugiente y oso hambriento, [es] el príncipe impío sobre el pueblo pobre.
16 El príncipe falto de entendimiento multiplicará los agravios: [mas] el que aborrece la avaricia, prolongará sus días.
17 El hombre que hace violencia con sangre de persona, huirá hasta el sepulcro, y nadie le detendrá.
18 El que en integridad camina, será salvo; mas el de perversos caminos caerá en alguno.
19 El que labra su tierra, se hartará de pan: mas el que sigue los ociosos, se hartará de pobreza.
