Proverbs 21:12 in Context — Proverbs 21
10 A alma do perverso deseja o mal; seu próximo não lhe agrada em seus olhos.
11 Castigando ao zombador, o ingênuo se torna sábio; e ensinando ao sábio, ele ganha conhecimento.
12 O justo considera prudentemente a casa do perverso; ele transtorna os perversos para a ruína.
13 Quem tapa seu ouvido ao clamor do pobre, ele também clamará, mas não será ouvido.
14 O presente em segredo extingue a ira; e a dádiva no colo [acalma] o forte furor.
