Proverbs 19:25 in Context — Proverbs 19
23 La crainte de l’Éternel mène à la vie, Et l’on passe la nuit rassasié, sans être visité par le malheur.
24 Le paresseux plonge sa main dans le plat, Et il ne la ramène pas à sa bouche.
25 Frappe le moqueur, et le sot deviendra sage; Reprends l’homme intelligent, et il comprendra la science.
26 Celui qui ruine son père et qui met en fuite sa mère Est un fils qui fait honte et qui fait rougir.
27 Cesse, mon fils, d’écouter l’instruction, Si c’est pour t’éloigner des paroles de la science.
