Proverbs 20:15 in Context — Proverbs 20
13 N’aime pas le sommeil, de peur que tu ne deviennes pauvre; Ouvre les yeux, tu seras rassasié de pain.
14 Mauvais! Mauvais! Dit l’acheteur; Et en s’en allant, il se félicite.
15 Il y a de l’or et beaucoup de perles; Mais les lèvres savantes sont un objet précieux.
16 Prends son vêtement, car il a cautionné autrui; Exige de lui des gages, à cause des étrangers.
17 Le pain du mensonge est doux à l’homme, Et plus tard sa bouche est remplie de gravier.
