Proverbs 11:12 in Context — Proverbs 11
10 Quand les justes sont heureux, la ville est dans la joie; Et quand les méchants périssent, on pousse des cris d’allégresse.
11 La ville s’élève par la bénédiction des hommes droits, Mais elle est renversée par la bouche des méchants.
12 Celui qui méprise son prochain est dépourvu de sens, Mais l’homme qui a de l’intelligence se tait.
13 Celui qui répand la calomnie dévoile les secrets, Mais celui qui a l’esprit fidèle les garde.
14 Quand la prudence fait défaut, le peuple tombe; Et le salut est dans le grand nombre des conseillers.
