Proverbs 22:3 in Context — Proverbs 22
1 La réputation est préférable à de grandes richesses, Et la grâce vaut mieux que l’argent et que l’or.
2 Le riche et le pauvre se rencontrent; C’est l’Éternel qui les a faits l’un et l’autre.
3 L’homme prudent voit le mal et se cache, Mais les simples avancent et sont punis.
4 Le fruit de l’humilité, de la crainte de l’Éternel, C’est la richesse, la gloire et la vie.
5 Des épines, des pièges sont sur la voie de l’homme pervers; Celui qui garde son âme s’en éloigne.
