Proverbs 15:16 in Context — Proverbs 15
14 Un cœur intelligent cherche la science, Mais la bouche des insensés se plaît à la folie.
15 Tous les jours du malheureux sont mauvais, Mais le cœur content est un festin perpétuel.
16 Mieux vaut peu, avec la crainte de l’Éternel, Qu’un grand trésor, avec le trouble.
17 Mieux vaut de l’herbe pour nourriture, là où règne l’amour, Qu’un bœuf engraissé, si la haine est là.
18 Un homme violent excite des querelles, Mais celui qui est lent à la colère apaise les disputes.
