Proverbs 12:19 in Context — Proverbs 12
17 Celui qui dit la vérité proclame la justice, Et le faux témoin la tromperie.
18 Tel, qui parle légèrement, blesse comme un glaive; Mais la langue des sages apporte la guérison.
19 La lèvre véridique est affermie pour toujours, Mais la langue fausse ne subsiste qu’un instant.
20 La tromperie est dans le cœur de ceux qui méditent le mal, Mais la joie est pour ceux qui conseillent la paix.
21 Aucun malheur n’arrive au juste, Mais les méchants sont accablés de maux.
