Proverbs 15:11 in Context — Proverbs 15

9 La voie du méchant est en horreur à l’Éternel, Mais il aime celui qui poursuit la justice.

10 Une correction sévère menace celui qui abandonne le sentier; Celui qui hait la réprimande mourra.

11 Le séjour des morts et l’abîme sont devant l’Éternel; Combien plus les cœurs des fils de l’homme!

12 Le moqueur n’aime pas qu’on le reprenne, Il ne va point vers les sages.

13 Un cœur joyeux rend le visage serein; Mais quand le cœur est triste, l’esprit est abattu.
