Proverbs 15:23 in Context — Proverbs 15
21 La folie est une joie pour celui qui est dépourvu de sens, Mais un homme intelligent va le droit chemin.
22 Les projets échouent, faute d’une assemblée qui délibère; Mais ils réussissent quand il y a de nombreux conseillers.
23 On éprouve de la joie à donner une réponse de sa bouche; Et combien est agréable une parole dite à propos!
24 Pour le sage, le sentier de la vie mène en haut, Afin qu’il se détourne du séjour des morts qui est en bas.
25 L’Éternel renverse la maison des orgueilleux, Mais il affermit les bornes de la veuve.
