Proverbs 24:20 in Context — Proverbs 24
18 De peur que l’Éternel ne le voie, que cela ne lui déplaise, Et qu’il ne détourne de lui sa colère.
19 Ne t’irrite pas à cause de ceux qui font le mal, Ne porte pas envie aux méchants;
20 Car il n’y a point d’avenir pour celui qui fait le mal, La lampe des méchants s’éteint.
21 Mon fils, crains l’Éternel et le roi; Ne te mêle pas avec les hommes remuants;
22 Car soudain leur ruine surgira, Et qui connaît les châtiments des uns et des autres?
