Proverbs 10:8 in Context — Proverbs 10

6 Il y a des bénédictions sur la tête du juste, Mais la violence couvre la bouche des méchants.

7 La mémoire du juste est en bénédiction, Mais le nom des méchants tombe en pourriture.

8 Celui qui est sage de cœur reçoit les préceptes, Mais celui qui est insensé des lèvres court à sa perte.

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.
