Proverbs 21:13 in Context — Proverbs 21

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.

15 C’est une joie pour le juste de pratiquer la justice, Mais la ruine est pour ceux qui font le mal.
