Proverbs 25:20 in Context — Proverbs 25
18 Comme une massue, une épée et une flèche aiguë, Ainsi est un homme qui porte un faux témoignage contre son prochain.
19 Comme une dent cassée et un pied qui chancelle, Ainsi est la confiance en un perfide au jour de la détresse.
20 Oter son vêtement dans un jour froid, Répandre du vinaigre sur du nitre, C’est dire des chansons à un cœur attristé.
21 Si ton ennemi a faim, donne-lui du pain à manger; S’il a soif, donne-lui de l’eau à boire.
22 Car ce sont des charbons ardents que tu amasses sur sa tête, Et l’Éternel te récompensera.
