Proverbs 25:11 in Context — Proverbs 25

9 Défends ta cause contre ton prochain, Mais ne révèle pas le secret d’un autre,

10 De peur qu’en l’apprenant il ne te couvre de honte, Et que ta mauvaise renommée ne s’efface pas.

11 Comme des pommes d’or sur des ciselures d’argent, Ainsi est une parole dite à propos.

12 Comme un anneau d’or et une parure d’or fin, Ainsi pour une oreille docile est le sage qui réprimande.

13 Comme la fraîcheur de la neige au temps de la moisson, Ainsi est un messager fidèle pour celui qui l’envoie; Il restaure l’âme de son maître.
