Proverbs 17:14-28 - KJV - The beginning of strife is as when one letteth ...

14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

18 A man void of understanding^a striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

20 He that hath a froward^b heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.

22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.

27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man^c of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

Proverbios 17:14 El comienzo de la contienda es como el soltar de las aguas; deja, pues, la riña antes de que empiece.

14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit before the quarrel breaks out.

14 Soltar las aguas (hablar precipitadamente) es el principio de la contienda; pues, antes que se revuelva el pleito, déjalo

14 The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts.

Proverbios 17:14 Comenzar una pelea es como abrir las compuertas de una represa,
así que detente antes de que estalle la disputa.

14 Iniciar una pelea es romper una represa;vale más retirarse que comenzarla.

14 El que comienza la pendencia es como quien suelta las aguas: Deja pues la porfía, antes que se enmarañe.

14 Soltar las aguas (hablar precipitadamente ) es el principio de la contienda; pues, antes que se revuelva el pleito, déjalo.
