Proverbs 16:10 in Context — Proverbs 16
8 Mieux vaut peu, avec la justice, Que de grands revenus, avec l’injustice.
9 Le cœur de l’homme médite sa voie, Mais c’est l’Éternel qui dirige ses pas.
10 Des oracles sont sur les lèvres du roi: Sa bouche ne doit pas être infidèle quand il juge.
11 Le poids et la balance justes sont à l’Éternel; Tous les poids du sac sont son ouvrage.
12 Les rois ont horreur de faire le mal, Car c’est par la justice que le trône s’affermit.
