Proverbs 12:8 in Context — Proverbs 12
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.
8 Un homme est estimé en raison de son intelligence, Et celui qui a le cœur pervers est l’objet du mépris.
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.
