Proverbs 25:24 in Context — Proverbs 25
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.
26 Comme une fontaine troublée et une source corrompue, Ainsi est le juste qui chancelle devant le méchant.
