Proverbs 19:6 in Context — Proverbs 19

4 La richesse procure un grand nombre d’amis, Mais le pauvre est séparé de son ami.

5 Le faux témoin ne restera pas impuni, Et celui qui dit des mensonges n’échappera pas.

6 Beaucoup de gens flattent l’homme généreux, Et tous sont les amis de celui qui fait des présents.

7 Tous les frères du pauvre le haïssent; Combien plus ses amis s’éloignent-ils de lui! Il leur adresse des paroles suppliantes, mais ils disparaissent.

8 Celui qui acquiert du sens aime son âme; Celui qui garde l’intelligence trouve le bonheur.
