Proverbs 10:15 in Context — Proverbs 10

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.

14 Les sages tiennent la science en réserve, Mais la bouche de l’insensé est une ruine prochaine.

15 La fortune est pour le riche une ville forte; La ruine des misérables, c’est leur pauvreté.

16 L’œuvre du juste est pour la vie, Le gain du méchant est pour le péché.

17 Celui qui se souvient de la correction prend le chemin de la vie, Mais celui qui oublie la réprimande s’égare.
