Proverbs 18:19 in Context — Proverbs 18
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.
19 Des frères sont plus intraitables qu’une ville forte, Et leurs querelles sont comme les verrous d’un palais.
20 C’est du fruit de sa bouche que l’homme rassasie son corps, C’est du produit de ses lèvres qu’il se rassasie.
21 La mort et la vie sont au pouvoir de la langue; Quiconque l’aime en mangera les fruits.
