Proverbs 18:13 in Context — Proverbs 18
11 La fortune est pour le riche une ville forte; Dans son imagination, c’est une haute muraille.
12 Avant la ruine, le cœur de l’homme s’élève; Mais l’humilité précède la gloire.
13 Celui qui répond avant d’avoir écouté Fait un acte de folie et s’attire la confusion.
14 L’esprit de l’homme le soutient dans la maladie; Mais l’esprit abattu, qui le relèvera?
15 Un cœur intelligent acquiert la science, Et l’oreille des sages cherche la science.
