Proverbs 12:11 in Context — Proverbs 12
9 Mieux vaut être d’une condition humble et avoir un serviteur Que de faire le glorieux et de manquer de pain.
10 Le juste prend soin de son bétail, Mais les entrailles des méchants sont cruelles.
11 Celui qui cultive son champ est rassasié de pain, Mais celui qui poursuit des choses vaines est dépourvu de sens.
12 Le méchant convoite ce que prennent les méchants, Mais la racine des justes donne du fruit.
13 Il y a dans le péché des lèvres un piège pernicieux, Mais le juste se tire de la détresse.
