Proverbs 15:4 in Context — Proverbs 15
2 La langue des sages rend la science aimable, Et la bouche des insensés répand la folie.
3 Les yeux de l’Éternel sont en tout lieu, Observant les méchants et les bons.
4 La langue douce est un arbre de vie, Mais la langue perverse brise l’âme.
5 L’insensé dédaigne l’instruction de son père, Mais celui qui a égard à la réprimande agit avec prudence.
6 Il y a grande abondance dans la maison du juste, Mais il y a du trouble dans les profits du méchant.
