Proverbs 10:17 in Context — Proverbs 10
15 A prosperidade do rico é a sua cidade fortificada; a pobreza dos necessitados é sua perturbação.
16 A obra do justo é para a vida; os frutos do perverso, para o pecado.
17 O caminho para a vida [é d] aquele que guarda a correção; mas aquele que abandona a repreensão anda sem rumo.
18 Aquele que esconde o ódio [tem] lábios mentirosos; e o que produz má fama é tolo.
19 Na abundância de palavras não há falta de transgressão; mas aquele que refreia seus lábios é prudente.
