14 En le frappant de la verge, Tu délivres son âme du séjour des morts.

15 Mon fils, si ton cœur est sage, Mon cœur à moi sera dans la joie;

16 Mes entrailles seront émues d’allégresse, Quand tes lèvres diront ce qui est droit.

17 Que ton cœur n’envie point les pécheurs, Mais qu’il ait toujours la crainte de l’Éternel;

18 Car il est un avenir, Et ton espérance ne sera pas anéantie.
