Proverbs 14:5 in Context — Proverbs 14

3 Dans la bouche de l’insensé est une verge pour son orgueil, Mais les lèvres des sages les gardent.

4 S’il n’y a pas de bœufs, la crèche est vide; C’est à la vigueur des bœufs qu’on doit l’abondance des revenus.

5 Un témoin fidèle ne ment pas, Mais un faux témoin dit des mensonges.

6 Le moqueur cherche la sagesse et ne la trouve pas, Mais pour l’homme intelligent la science est chose facile.

7 Éloigne-toi de l’insensé; Ce n’est pas sur ses lèvres que tu aperçois la science.
