Proverbs 21:3 in Context — Proverbs 21
1 Le cœur du roi est un courant d’eau dans la main de l’Éternel; Il l’incline partout où il veut.
2 Toutes les voies de l’homme sont droites à ses yeux; Mais celui qui pèse les cœurs, c’est l’Éternel.
3 La pratique de la justice et de l’équité, Voilà ce que l’Éternel préfère aux sacrifices.
4 Des regards hautains et un cœur qui s’enfle, Cette lampe des méchants, ce n’est que péché.
5 Les projets de l’homme diligent ne mènent qu’à l’abondance, Mais celui qui agit avec précipitation n’arrive qu’à la disette.
