Proverbs 18:16 in Context — Proverbs 18
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.
17 Le premier qui parle dans sa cause paraît juste; Vient sa partie adverse, et on l’examine.
18 Le sort fait cesser les contestations, Et décide entre les puissants.
