Proverbs 24:33 in Context — Proverbs 24

31 Et voici, les épines y croissaient partout, Les ronces en couvraient la face, Et le mur de pierres était écroulé.

32 J’ai regardé attentivement, Et j’ai tiré instruction de ce que j’ai vu.

33 Un peu de sommeil, un peu d’assoupissement, Un peu croiser les mains pour dormir!…

34 Et la pauvreté te surprendra, comme un rôdeur, Et la disette, comme un homme en armes.
