Proverbs 11:22 in Context — Proverbs 11
20 Ceux qui ont le cœur pervers sont en abomination à l’Éternel, Mais ceux dont la voie est intègre lui sont agréables.
21 Certes, le méchant ne restera pas impuni, Mais la postérité des justes sera sauvée.
22 Un anneau d’or au nez d’un pourceau, C’est une femme belle et dépourvue de sens.
23 Le désir des justes, c’est seulement le bien; L’attente des méchants, c’est la fureur.
24 Tel, qui donne libéralement, devient plus riche; Et tel, qui épargne à l’excès, ne fait que s’appauvrir.
