Proverbs 11:23 in Context — Proverbs 11
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.
25 L’âme bienfaisante sera rassasiée, Et celui qui arrose sera lui-même arrosé.
