Proverbs 20:24 in Context — Proverbs 20
22 Ne dis pas: Je rendrai le mal. Espère en l’Éternel, et il te délivrera.
23 L’Éternel a en horreur deux sortes de poids, Et la balance fausse n’est pas une chose bonne.
24 C’est l’Éternel qui dirige les pas de l’homme, Mais l’homme peut-il comprendre sa voie?
25 C’est un piège pour l’homme que de prendre à la légère un engagement sacré, Et de ne réfléchir qu’après avoir fait un vœu.
26 Un roi sage dissipe les méchants, Et fait passer sur eux la roue.
