Proverbs 25:6 in Context — Proverbs 25

4 Ote de l’argent les scories, Et il en sortira un vase pour le fondeur.

5 Ote le méchant de devant le roi, Et son trône s’affermira par la justice.

6 Ne t’élève pas devant le roi, Et ne prends pas la place des grands;

7 Car il vaut mieux qu’on te dise: Monte-ici! Que si l’on t’abaisse devant le prince que tes yeux voient.

8 Ne te hâte pas d’entrer en contestation, De peur qu’à la fin tu ne saches que faire, Lorsque ton prochain t’aura outragé.
