Proverbs 22:5 in Context — Proverbs 22
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.
7 Le riche domine sur les pauvres, Et celui qui emprunte est l’esclave de celui qui prête.
