Proverbs 11:16 in Context — Proverbs 11
14 Quand la prudence fait défaut, le peuple tombe; Et le salut est dans le grand nombre des conseillers.
15 Celui qui cautionne autrui s’en trouve mal, Mais celui qui craint de s’engager est en sécurité.
16 Une femme qui a de la grâce obtient la gloire, Et ceux qui ont de la force obtiennent la richesse.
17 L’homme bon fait du bien à son âme, Mais l’homme cruel trouble sa propre chair.
18 Le méchant fait un gain trompeur, Mais celui qui sème la justice a un salaire véritable.
