Proverbs 14:8 in Context — Proverbs 14
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.
8 La sagesse de l’homme prudent, c’est l’intelligence de sa voie; La folie des insensés, c’est la tromperie.
9 Les insensés se font un jeu du péché, Mais parmi les hommes droits se trouve la bienveillance.
10 Le cœur connaît ses propres chagrins, Et un étranger ne saurait partager sa joie.
