Proverbs 25:23 in Context — Proverbs 25
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.
23 Le vent du nord enfante la pluie, Et la langue mystérieuse un visage irrité.
24 Mieux vaut habiter à l’angle d’un toit, Que de partager la demeure d’une femme querelleuse.
25 Comme de l’eau fraîche pour une personne fatiguée, Ainsi est une bonne nouvelle venant d’une terre lointaine.
