Proverbs 26:23 in Context — Proverbs 26
21 Le charbon produit un brasier, et le bois du feu; Ainsi un homme querelleur échauffe une dispute.
22 Les paroles du rapporteur sont comme des friandises, Elles descendent jusqu’au fond des entrailles.
23 Comme des scories d’argent appliquées sur un vase de terre, Ainsi sont des lèvres brûlantes et un cœur mauvais.
24 Par ses lèvres celui qui hait se déguise, Et il met au-dedans de lui la tromperie.
25 Lorsqu’il prend une voix douce, ne le crois pas, Car il y a sept abominations dans son cœur.
