Proverbs 10:17 in Context — Proverbs 10

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.

18 Celui qui dissimule la haine a des lèvres menteuses, Et celui qui répand la calomnie est un insensé.

19 Celui qui parle beaucoup ne manque pas de pécher, Mais celui qui retient ses lèvres est un homme prudent.
