Proverbs 27:10 in Context — Proverbs 27
8 Comme l’oiseau qui erre loin de son nid, Ainsi est l’homme qui erre loin de son lieu.
9 L’huile et les parfums réjouissent le cœur, Et les conseils affectueux d’un ami sont doux.
10 N’abandonne pas ton ami et l’ami de ton père, Et n’entre pas dans la maison de ton frère au jour de ta détresse; Mieux vaut un voisin proche qu’un frère éloigné.
11 Mon fils, sois sage, et réjouis mon cœur, Et je pourrai répondre à celui qui m’outrage.
12 L’homme prudent voit le mal et se cache; Les simples avancent et sont punis.
