Proverbs 18:4 in Context — Proverbs 18
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.
5 Il n’est pas bon d’avoir égard à la personne du méchant, Pour faire tort au juste dans le jugement.
6 Les lèvres de l’insensé se mêlent aux querelles, Et sa bouche provoque les coups.
