Proverbs 23:19 in Context — Proverbs 23

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.

19 Écoute, mon fils, et sois sage; Dirige ton cœur dans la voie droite.

20 Ne sois pas parmi les buveurs de vin, Parmi ceux qui font excès des viandes:

21 Car l’ivrogne et celui qui se livre à des excès s’appauvrissent, Et l’assoupissement fait porter des haillons.
