Proverbs 18:14 in Context — Proverbs 18

12 Antes da ruína o coração humano é orgulhoso; e antes da honra [vem] a humildade.

13 Quem responde antes de ouvir [age] como tolo e causa vergonha para si.

14 O espírito do homem o sustentará quando doente; mas o espírito abatido, quem o levantará?

15 O coração do prudente adquire conhecimento; e o ouvido dos sábios busca conhecimento.

16 O presente do homem alarga seu caminho, e o leva perante a face dos grandes.
