Proverbs 13:23 in Context — Proverbs 13
21 O mal perseguirá os pecadores, mas os justos serão recompensados com o bem.
22 O homem de bem deixará herança aos filhos de seus filhos; mas a riqueza do pecador está reservada para o justo.
23 A lavoura dos pobres [gera] muita comida; mas há [alguns] que se destroem por falta de juízo.
24 Aquele que retém sua vara odeia a seu filho; porém aquele que o ama, desde cedo o castiga.
25 O justo come até sua alma estar saciada; mas o ventre dos perversos passará por necessidade.
