Proverbs 26:3 in Context — Proverbs 26
1 Comme la neige en été, et la pluie pendant la moisson, Ainsi la gloire ne convient pas à un insensé.
2 Comme l’oiseau s’échappe, comme l’hirondelle s’envole, Ainsi la malédiction sans cause n’a point d’effet.
3 Le fouet est pour le cheval, le mors pour l’âne, Et la verge pour le dos des insensés.
4 Ne réponds pas à l’insensé selon sa folie, De peur que tu ne lui ressembles toi-même.
5 Réponds à l’insensé selon sa folie, Afin qu’il ne se regarde pas comme sage.
