Proverbs 17:25 in Context — Proverbs 17
23 O perverso toma o presente do seio, para perverter os caminhos da justiça.
24 A sabedoria está diante do rosto do prudente; porém os olhos do tolo [estão voltados] para os confins da terra.
25 O filho tolo é tristeza para seu pai, e amargura para aquela que o gerou.
26 Também não é bom punir ao justo, nem bater nos príncipes por causa da justiça.
27 Quem entende o conhecimento guarda suas palavras; [e] o homem de bom entendimento [é] de espírito calmo.
