Proverbs 13:8 in Context — Proverbs 13
6 La justice garde celui dont la voie est intègre, Mais la méchanceté cause la ruine du pécheur.
7 Tel fait le riche et n’a rien du tout, Tel fait le pauvre et a de grands biens.
8 La richesse d’un homme sert de rançon pour sa vie, Mais le pauvre n’écoute pas la réprimande.
9 La lumière des justes est joyeuse, Mais la lampe des méchants s’éteint.
10 C’est seulement par orgueil qu’on excite des querelles, Mais la sagesse est avec ceux qui écoutent les conseils.
