Proverbs 16:13 in Context — Proverbs 16
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.
13 Les lèvres justes gagnent la faveur des rois, Et ils aiment celui qui parle avec droiture.
14 La fureur du roi est un messager de mort, Et un homme sage doit l’apaiser.
15 La sérénité du visage du roi donne la vie, Et sa faveur est comme une pluie du printemps.
