Proverbs 1:8 in Context — Proverbs 1
6 Pour saisir le sens d’un proverbe ou d’une énigme, Des paroles des sages et de leurs sentences.
7 La crainte de l’Éternel est le commencement de la science; Les insensés méprisent la sagesse et l’instruction.
8 Écoute, mon fils, l’instruction de ton père, Et ne rejette pas l’enseignement de ta mère;
9 Car c’est une couronne de grâce pour ta tête, Et une parure pour ton cou.
10 Mon fils, si des pécheurs veulent te séduire, Ne te laisse pas gagner.
