Proverbs 23:7 in Context — Proverbs 23

5 Veux-tu poursuivre du regard ce qui va disparaître? Car la richesse se fait des ailes, Et comme l’aigle, elle prend son vol vers les cieux.

6 Ne mange pas le pain de celui dont le regard est malveillant, Et ne convoite pas ses friandises;

7 Car il est comme les pensées de son âme. Mange et bois, te dira-t-il; Mais son cœur n’est point avec toi.

8 Tu vomiras le morceau que tu as mangé, Et tu auras perdu tes propos agréables.

9 Ne parle pas aux oreilles de l’insensé, Car il méprise la sagesse de tes discours.
