Proverbs 19:8 in Context — Proverbs 19
6 Muitos suplicam perante o príncipe; e todos querem ser amigos daquele que dá presentes.
7 Todos os irmãos do pobre o odeiam; ainda mais seus amigos se afastam dele; ele corre atrás deles com palavras, mas eles nada lhe [respondem] .
8 Quem adquire entendimento ama sua alma; quem guarda a prudência encontrará o bem.
9 A falsa testemunha não ficará impune; e quem fala mentiras perecerá.
10 O luxo não é adequado ao tolo; muito menos ao servo dominar sobre príncipes.
