Proverbs 10:28 in Context — Proverbs 10

26 Ce que le vinaigre est aux dents et la fumée aux yeux, Tel est le paresseux pour celui qui l’envoie.

27 La crainte de l’Éternel augmente les jours, Mais les années des méchants sont abrégées.

28 L’attente des justes n’est que joie, Mais l’espérance des méchants périra.

29 La voie de l’Éternel est un rempart pour l’intégrité, Mais elle est une ruine pour ceux qui font le mal.

30 Le juste ne chancellera jamais, Mais les méchants n’habiteront pas le pays.
