Proverbs 19:12 in Context — Proverbs 19
10 Il ne sied pas à un insensé de vivre dans les délices; Combien moins à un esclave de dominer sur des princes!
11 L’homme qui a de la sagesse est lent à la colère, Et il met sa gloire à oublier les offenses.
12 La colère du roi est comme le rugissement d’un lion, Et sa faveur est comme la rosée sur l’herbe.
13 Un fils insensé est une calamité pour son père, Et les querelles d’une femme sont une gouttière sans fin.
14 On peut hériter de ses pères une maison et des richesses, Mais une femme intelligente est un don de l’Éternel.
