Proverbs 12:8 in Context — Proverbs 12
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.
9 Melhor é o que estima pouco a si mesmo mas tem quem o sirva, do que aquele que elogia e si mesmo, mas nem sequer tem pão.
10 O justo dá atenção à vida de seus animais; mas [até] as misericórdias dos perversos são cruéis.
