Proverbs 11:9 in Context — Proverbs 11

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.

11 La ville s’élève par la bénédiction des hommes droits, Mais elle est renversée par la bouche des méchants.
