Proverbs 13:9 in Context — Proverbs 13

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.

11 La richesse mal acquise diminue, Mais celui qui amasse peu à peu l’augmente.
