Proverbs 14:19 in Context — Proverbs 14

17 Celui qui est prompt à la colère fait des sottises, Et l’homme plein de malice s’attire la haine.

18 Les simples ont en partage la folie, Et les hommes prudents se font de la science une couronne.

19 Les mauvais s’inclinent devant les bons, Et les méchants aux portes du juste.

20 Le pauvre est odieux même à son ami, Mais les amis du riche sont nombreux.

21 Celui qui méprise son prochain commet un péché, Mais heureux celui qui a pitié des misérables!
