Proverbs 28:22 in Context — Proverbs 28
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.
24 El que roba á su padre ó á su madre, y dice que no es maldad, compañero es del hombre destruidor.
