Proverbs 27:2 in Context — Proverbs 27
1 Ne te vante pas du lendemain, Car tu ne sais pas ce qu’un jour peut enfanter.
2 Qu’un autre te loue, et non ta bouche, Un étranger, et non tes lèvres.
3 La pierre est pesante et le sable est lourd, Mais l’humeur de l’insensé pèse plus que l’un et l’autre.
4 La fureur est cruelle et la colère impétueuse, Mais qui résistera devant la jalousie?
