Proverbs 19:26 in Context — Proverbs 19

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.

28 Un témoin pervers se moque de la justice, Et la bouche des méchants dévore l’iniquité.
