Proverbs 21:11 in Context — Proverbs 21
9 Mieux vaut habiter à l’angle d’un toit, Que de partager la demeure d’une femme querelleuse.
10 L’âme du méchant désire le mal; Son ami ne trouve pas grâce à ses yeux.
11 Quand on châtie le moqueur, le sot devient sage; Et quand on instruit le sage, il accueille la science.
12 Le juste considère la maison du méchant; L’Éternel précipite les méchants dans le malheur.
13 Celui qui ferme son oreille au cri du pauvre Criera lui-même et n’aura point de réponse.
