Proverbs 23:12 in Context — Proverbs 23
10 Ne déplace pas la borne ancienne, Et n’entre pas dans le champ des orphelins;
11 Car leur vengeur est puissant: Il défendra leur cause contre toi.
12 Ouvre ton cœur à l’instruction, Et tes oreilles aux paroles de la science.
13 N’épargne pas la correction à l’enfant; Si tu le frappes de la verge, il ne mourra point.
14 En le frappant de la verge, Tu délivres son âme du séjour des morts.
