Proverbs 14:13 in Context — Proverbs 14

11 La maison des méchants sera détruite, Mais la tente des hommes droits fleurira.

12 Telle voie paraît droite à un homme, Mais son issue, c’est la voie de la mort.

13 Au milieu même du rire le cœur peut être affligé, Et la joie peut finir par la détresse.

14 Celui dont le cœur s’égare se rassasie de ses voies, Et l’homme de bien se rassasie de ce qui est en lui.

15 L’homme simple croit tout ce qu’on dit, Mais l’homme prudent est attentif à ses pas.
