Proverbs 21:12 in Context — Proverbs 21

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.

14 Un don fait en secret apaise la colère, Et un présent fait en cachette calme une fureur violente.
