Proverbs 12:5 in Context — Proverbs 12
3 L’homme ne s’affermit pas par la méchanceté, Mais la racine des justes ne sera point ébranlée.
4 Une femme vertueuse est la couronne de son mari, Mais celle qui fait honte est comme la carie dans ses os.
5 Les pensées des justes ne sont qu’équité; Les desseins des méchants ne sont que fraude.
6 Les paroles des méchants sont des embûches pour verser le sang, Mais la bouche des hommes droits est une délivrance.
7 Renversés, les méchants ne sont plus; Et la maison des justes reste debout.
