Proverbs 22:23 in Context — Proverbs 22
21 Pour t’enseigner des choses sûres, des paroles vraies, Afin que tu répondes par des paroles vraies à celui qui t’envoie?
22 Ne dépouille pas le pauvre, parce qu’il est pauvre, Et n’opprime pas le malheureux à la porte;
23 Car l’Éternel défendra leur cause, Et il ôtera la vie à ceux qui les auront dépouillés.
24 Ne fréquente pas l’homme colère, Ne va pas avec l’homme violent,
25 De peur que tu ne t’habitues à ses sentiers, Et qu’ils ne deviennent un piège pour ton âme.
