Proverbs 1:16 in Context — Proverbs 1
14 Tu auras ta part avec nous, Il n’y aura qu’une bourse pour nous tous!
15 Mon fils, ne te mets pas en chemin avec eux, Détourne ton pied de leur sentier;
16 Car leurs pieds courent au mal, Et ils ont hâte de répandre le sang.
17 Mais en vain jette-t-on le filet Devant les yeux de tout ce qui a des ailes;
18 Et eux, c’est contre leur propre sang qu’ils dressent des embûches, C’est à leur âme qu’ils tendent des pièges.
