Proverbs 22:9 in Context — Proverbs 22
7 Le riche domine sur les pauvres, Et celui qui emprunte est l’esclave de celui qui prête.
8 Celui qui sème l’iniquité moissonne l’iniquité, Et la verge de sa fureur disparaît.
9 L’homme dont le regard est bienveillant sera béni, Parce qu’il donne de son pain au pauvre.
10 Chasse le moqueur, et la querelle prendra fin; Les disputes et les outrages cesseront.
11 Celui qui aime la pureté du cœur, Et qui a la grâce sur les lèvres, a le roi pour ami.
