14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so ¹quit before the quarrel breaks out.

15 He who ²justifies the wicked and he who ³condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.

16 Why should a fool have money in his hand ⁴to buy wisdom when he has no sense?

17 ⁵A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

18 One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

19 Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who ⁶makes his door high seeks destruction.

20 ⁷A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.

21 He who ⁸sires a fool gets himself sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy.

22 ⁹A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit ¹⁰dries up the bones.

23 The wicked accepts ¹¹a bribe in secret^a to ¹²pervert the ways of justice.

24 ¹³The discerning sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

25 ¹⁴A foolish son is a grief to his father ¹⁵and bitterness to ¹⁶her who bore him.

26 ¹⁷To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good, nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.

27 Whoever ¹⁸restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

28 Even a fool ¹⁹who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

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

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 as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

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.
