Proverbs 21:5 in Context — Proverbs 21
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.
6 Des trésors acquis par une langue mensongère Sont une vanité fugitive et l’avant-coureur de la mort.
7 La violence des méchants les emporte, Parce qu’ils refusent de faire ce qui est juste.
