Proverbs 22:4 in Context — Proverbs 22

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.

6 Instruis l’enfant selon la voie qu’il doit suivre; Et quand il sera vieux, il ne s’en détournera pas.
