Proverbs 17:20 in Context — Proverbs 17
18 O homem imprudente assume compromisso, ficando como fiador de seu próximo.
19 Quem ama a briga, ama a transgressão; quem constrói alta sua porta busca ruína.
20 O perverso de coração nunca encontrará o bem; e quem distorce [as palavras de] sua língua cairá no mal.
21 Quem gera o louco [cria] sua própria tristeza; e o pai do imprudente não se alegrará.
22 O coração alegre é um bom remédio, mas o espírito abatido faz os ossos se secarem.
