Proverbs 15:9 in Context — Proverbs 15
7 Les lèvres des sages répandent la science, Mais le cœur des insensés n’est pas droit.
8 Le sacrifice des méchants est en horreur à l’Éternel, Mais la prière des hommes droits lui est agréable.
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!
