Proverbs 12:4 in Context — Proverbs 12
2 O homem de bem ganha o favor do SENHOR; mas ao homem de pensamentos perversos, ele o condenará.
3 O homem não prevalecerá pela perversidade; mas a raiz dos justos não será removida.
4 A mulher virtuosa é a coroa de seu marido; mas a causadora de vergonha é como uma podridão em seus ossos.
5 Os pensamentos dos justos são de bom juízo; [mas] os conselhos dos perversos são enganosos.
6 As palavras dos perversos são para espreitar [o derramamento de] sangue [de inocentes] ; mas a boca dos corretos os livrará.
