Proverbs 22:26 in Context — Proverbs 22

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.

26 Ne sois pas parmi ceux qui prennent des engagements, Parmi ceux qui cautionnent pour des dettes;

27 Si tu n’as pas de quoi payer, Pourquoi voudrais-tu qu’on enlève ton lit de dessous toi?

28 Ne déplace pas la borne ancienne, Que tes pères ont posée.
