Proverbs 14:20 in Context — Proverbs 14
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!
22 Ceux qui méditent le mal ne s’égarent-ils pas? Mais ceux qui méditent le bien agissent avec bonté et fidélité.
