Proverbs 1:20 in Context — Proverbs 1
18 Et eux, c’est contre leur propre sang qu’ils dressent des embûches, C’est à leur âme qu’ils tendent des pièges.
19 Ainsi arrive-t-il à tout homme avide de gain; La cupidité cause la perte de ceux qui s’y livrent.
20 La sagesse crie dans les rues, Elle élève sa voix dans les places:
21 Elle crie à l’entrée des lieux bruyants; Aux portes, dans la ville, elle fait entendre ses paroles:
22 Jusqu’à quand, stupides, aimerez-vous la stupidité? Jusqu’à quand les moqueurs se plairont-ils à la moquerie, Et les insensés haïront-ils la science?
