Ecclesiastes 7:6 in Context — Ecclesiastes 7
4 Le cœur des sages est dans la maison de deuil, et le cœur des insensés dans la maison de joie.
5 Mieux vaut entendre la réprimande du sage que d’entendre le chant des insensés.
6 Car comme le bruit des épines sous la chaudière, ainsi est le rire des insensés. C’est encore là une vanité.
7 L’oppression rend insensé le sage, et les présents corrompent le cœur.
8 Mieux vaut la fin d’une chose que son commencement; mieux vaut un esprit patient qu’un esprit hautain.
