Proverbs 19:8 in Context — Proverbs 19
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.
9 Le faux témoin ne restera pas impuni, Et celui qui dit des mensonges périra.
10 Il ne sied pas à un insensé de vivre dans les délices; Combien moins à un esclave de dominer sur des princes!
