Proverbs 17:10 in Context — Proverbs 17

8 Les présents sont une pierre précieuse aux yeux de qui en reçoit; De quelque côté qu’ils se tournent, ils ont du succès.

9 Celui qui couvre une faute cherche l’amour, Et celui qui la rappelle dans ses discours divise les amis.

10 Une réprimande fait plus d’impression sur l’homme intelligent Que cent coups sur l’insensé.

11 Le méchant ne cherche que révolte, Mais un messager cruel sera envoyé contre lui.

12 Rencontre une ourse privée de ses petits, Plutôt qu’un insensé pendant sa folie.
