Proverbs 21:15 in Context — Proverbs 21

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.

16 L’homme qui s’écarte du chemin de la sagesse Reposera dans l’assemblée des morts.

17 Celui qui aime la joie reste dans l’indigence; Celui qui aime le vin et l’huile ne s’enrichit pas.
