Proverbs 4:13 in Context — Proverbs 4

11 Por el camino de la sabiduría te he encaminado, y por veredas derechas te he hecho andar.

12 Cuando anduvieres no se estrecharán tus pasos; y si corrieres, no tropezarás.

13 Ten el consejo, no lo dejes; guárdalo, porque eso es tu vida.

14 No entres por la vereda de los impíos, ni vayas por el camino de los malos.

15 Desampárala, no pases por ella; apártate de ella, pasa.
