Proverbs 16:18 in Context — Proverbs 16
16 Combien acquérir la sagesse vaut mieux que l’or! Combien acquérir l’intelligence est préférable à l’argent!
17 Le chemin des hommes droits, c’est d’éviter le mal; Celui qui garde son âme veille sur sa voie.
18 L’arrogance précède la ruine, Et l’orgueil précède la chute.
19 Mieux vaut être humble avec les humbles Que de partager le butin avec les orgueilleux.
20 Celui qui réfléchit sur les choses trouve le bonheur, Et celui qui se confie en l’Éternel est heureux.
