Proverbs 24:23 in Context — Proverbs 24
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.
24 Celui qui dit au méchant: Tu es juste! Les peuples le maudissent, les nations le maudissent.
25 Mais ceux qui le châtient s’en trouvent bien, Et le bonheur vient sur eux comme une bénédiction.
