Proverbs 10:11 in Context — Proverbs 10
9 Celui qui marche dans l’intégrité marche avec assurance, Mais celui qui prend des voies tortueuses sera découvert.
10 Celui qui cligne des yeux est une cause de chagrin, Et celui qui est insensé des lèvres court à sa perte.
11 La bouche du juste est une source de vie, Mais la violence couvre la bouche des méchants.
12 La haine excite des querelles, Mais l’amour couvre toutes les fautes.
13 Sur les lèvres de l’homme intelligent se trouve la sagesse, Mais la verge est pour le dos de celui qui est dépourvu de sens.
