Proverbs 24:21 in Context — Proverbs 24

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?

23 Voici encore ce qui vient des sages: Il n’est pas bon, dans les jugements, d’avoir égard aux personnes.
