Proverbs 16:27 in Context — Proverbs 16
25 Telle voie paraît droite à un homme, Mais son issue, c’est la voie de la mort.
26 Celui qui travaille, travaille pour lui, Car sa bouche l’y excite.
27 L’homme pervers prépare le malheur, Et il y a sur ses lèvres comme un feu ardent.
28 L’homme pervers excite des querelles, Et le rapporteur divise les amis.
29 L’homme violent séduit son prochain, Et le fait marcher dans une voie qui n’est pas bonne.
