Proverbs 26:8 in Context — Proverbs 26
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.
10 Comme un archer qui blesse tout le monde, Ainsi est celui qui prend à gage les insensés et les premiers venus.
