Proverbs 26:7 in Context — Proverbs 26

5 Réponds à l’insensé selon sa folie, Afin qu’il ne se regarde pas comme sage.

6 Il se coupe les pieds, il boit l’injustice, Celui qui donne des messages à un insensé.

7 Comme les jambes du boiteux sont faibles, Ainsi est une sentence dans la bouche des insensés.

8 C’est attacher une pierre à la fronde, Que d’accorder des honneurs à un insensé.

9 Comme une épine qui se dresse dans la main d’un homme ivre, Ainsi est une sentence dans la bouche des insensés.
