Proverbs 18:8 in Context — Proverbs 18
6 Les lèvres de l’insensé se mêlent aux querelles, Et sa bouche provoque les coups.
7 La bouche de l’insensé cause sa ruine, Et ses lèvres sont un piège pour son âme.
8 Les paroles du rapporteur sont comme des friandises, Elles descendent jusqu’au fond des entrailles.
9 Celui qui se relâche dans son travail Est frère de celui qui détruit.
10 Le nom de l’Éternel est une tour forte; Le juste s’y réfugie, et se trouve en sûreté.
