Proverbs 25:26 in Context — Proverbs 25
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.
27 Il n’est pas bon de manger beaucoup de miel, Mais rechercher la gloire des autres est un honneur.
28 Comme une ville forcée et sans murailles, Ainsi est l’homme qui n’est pas maître de lui-même.
