Proverbs 22:13 in Context — Proverbs 22

11 Celui qui aime la pureté du cœur, Et qui a la grâce sur les lèvres, a le roi pour ami.

12 Les yeux de l’Éternel gardent la science, Mais il confond les paroles du perfide.

13 Le paresseux dit: Il y a un lion dehors! Je serai tué dans les rues!

14 La bouche des étrangères est une fosse profonde; Celui contre qui l’Éternel est irrité y tombera.

15 La folie est attachée au cœur de l’enfant; La verge de la correction l’éloignera de lui.
