Proverbs 15:12 in Context — Proverbs 15

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.

14 Un cœur intelligent cherche la science, Mais la bouche des insensés se plaît à la folie.
