Proverbs 23:22 in Context — Proverbs 23
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.
22 Écoute ton père, lui qui t’a engendré, Et ne méprise pas ta mère, quand elle est devenue vieille.
23 Acquiers la vérité, et ne la vends pas, La sagesse, l’instruction et l’intelligence.
24 Le père du juste est dans l’allégresse, Celui qui donne naissance à un sage aura de la joie.
