Proverbs 21:8 in Context — Proverbs 21
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.
8 Le coupable suit des voies détournées, Mais l’innocent agit avec droiture.
9 Mieux vaut habiter à l’angle d’un toit, Que de partager la demeure d’une femme querelleuse.
10 L’âme du méchant désire le mal; Son ami ne trouve pas grâce à ses yeux.
