SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:23
¶ También estas cosas pertenecen a los sabios. Tener acepción de personas en el juicio no es bueno.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 24:23
Verse 23. These things also belong to the wise. ] µymkjl hla µg gam elleh lachachamim, "These also to wise." This appears to be a new section; and perhaps, what follows belongs to another collection.
