Proverbs 16:29 in Context — Proverbs 16

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.

31 Les cheveux blancs sont une couronne d’honneur; C’est dans le chemin de la justice qu’on la trouve.
