Proverbs 12:6 in Context — Proverbs 12
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.
7 Os perversos serão transtornados, e não existirão [mais] ; porém a casa dos justos permanecerá.
8 Cada um será elogiado conforme seu entendimento; mas o perverso de coração será desprezado.
