Proverbs 16:28 in Context — Proverbs 16
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.
30 Celui qui ferme les yeux pour se livrer à des pensées perverses, Celui qui se mord les lèvres, a déjà consommé le mal.
