Proverbs 14:30 in Context — Proverbs 14

28 Quand le peuple est nombreux, c’est la gloire d’un roi; Quand le peuple manque, c’est la ruine du prince.

29 Celui qui est lent à la colère a une grande intelligence, Mais celui qui est prompt à s’emporter proclame sa folie.

30 Un cœur calme est la vie du corps, Mais l’envie est la carie des os.

31 Opprimer le pauvre, c’est outrager celui qui l’a fait; Mais avoir pitié de l’indigent, c’est l’honorer.

32 Le méchant est renversé par sa méchanceté, Mais le juste trouve un refuge même en sa mort.
