Proverbs 26:19 in Context — Proverbs 26

17 Comme celui qui saisit un chien par les oreilles, Ainsi est un passant qui s’irrite pour une querelle où il n’a que faire.

18 Comme un furieux qui lance des flammes, Des flèches et la mort,

19 Ainsi est un homme qui trompe son prochain, Et qui dit: N’était-ce pas pour plaisanter?

20 Faute de bois, le feu s’éteint; Et quand il n’y a point de rapporteur, la querelle s’apaise.

21 Le charbon produit un brasier, et le bois du feu; Ainsi un homme querelleur échauffe une dispute.
