Proverbs 18:14 in Context — Proverbs 18

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.

16 Les présents d’un homme lui élargissent la voie, Et lui donnent accès auprès des grands.
