Proverbs 11:8 in Context — Proverbs 11

6 La justice des hommes droits les délivre, Mais les méchants sont pris par leur malice.

7 A la mort du méchant, son espoir périt, Et l’attente des hommes iniques est anéantie.

8 Le juste est délivré de la détresse, Et le méchant prend sa place.

9 Par sa bouche l’impie perd son prochain, Mais les justes sont délivrés par la science.

10 Quand les justes sont heureux, la ville est dans la joie; Et quand les méchants périssent, on pousse des cris d’allégresse.
