Proverbs 28:21 in Context — Proverbs 28
19 El que labra su tierra, se hartará de pan: mas el que sigue los ociosos, se hartará de pobreza.
20 El hombre de verdad tendrá muchas bendiciones: mas el que se apresura á enriquecer, no será sin culpa.
21 Tener acepción de personas, no es bueno: hasta por un bocado de pan prevaricará el hombre.
22 Apresúrase á ser rico el hombre de mal ojo; y no conoce que le ha de venir pobreza.
23 El que reprende al hombre, hallará después mayor gracia que el que lisonjea con la lengua.
