Proverbs 18:2 in Context — Proverbs 18

1 Celui qui se tient à l’écart cherche ce qui lui plaît, Il s’irrite contre tout ce qui est sage.

2 Ce n’est pas à l’intelligence que l’insensé prend plaisir, C’est à la manifestation de ses pensées.

3 Quand vient le méchant, vient aussi le mépris; Et avec la honte, vient l’opprobre.

4 Les paroles de la bouche d’un homme sont des eaux profondes; La source de la sagesse est un torrent qui jaillit.
