Proverbs 21:25 in Context — Proverbs 21
23 Celui qui veille sur sa bouche et sur sa langue Préserve son âme des angoisses.
24 L’orgueilleux, le hautain, s’appelle un moqueur; Il agit avec la fureur de l’arrogance.
25 Les désirs du paresseux le tuent, Parce que ses mains refusent de travailler;
26 Tout le jour il éprouve des désirs; Mais le juste donne sans parcimonie.
27 Le sacrifice des méchants est quelque chose d’abominable; Combien plus quand ils l’offrent avec des pensées criminelles!
