Proverbs 16:20 in Context — Proverbs 16
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.
21 Celui qui est sage de cœur est appelé intelligent, Et la douceur des lèvres augmente le savoir.
22 La sagesse est une source de vie pour celui qui la possède; Et le châtiment des insensés, c’est leur folie.
