Ecclesiastes 10:2 in Context — Ecclesiastes 10

1 Les mouches mortes infectent et font fermenter l’huile du parfumeur; un peu de folie l’emporte sur la sagesse et sur la gloire.

2 Le cœur du sage est à sa droite, et le cœur de l’insensé à sa gauche.

3 Quand l’insensé marche dans un chemin, le sens lui manque, et il dit de chacun: Voilà un fou!

4 Si l’esprit de celui qui domine s’élève contre toi, ne quitte point ta place; car le calme prévient de grands péchés.
