Proverbs 21:28 in Context — Proverbs 21
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!
28 Le témoin menteur périra, Mais l’homme qui écoute parlera toujours.
29 Le méchant prend un air effronté, Mais l’homme droit affermit sa voie.
30 Il n’y a ni sagesse, ni intelligence, Ni conseil, en face de l’Éternel.
