Proverbs 16:9 in Context — Proverbs 16
7 Quand l’Éternel approuve les voies d’un homme, Il dispose favorablement à son égard même ses ennemis.
8 Mieux vaut peu, avec la justice, Que de grands revenus, avec l’injustice.
9 Le cœur de l’homme médite sa voie, Mais c’est l’Éternel qui dirige ses pas.
10 Des oracles sont sur les lèvres du roi: Sa bouche ne doit pas être infidèle quand il juge.
11 Le poids et la balance justes sont à l’Éternel; Tous les poids du sac sont son ouvrage.
