Proverbs 27:9 in Context — Proverbs 27
7 Celui qui est rassasié foule aux pieds le rayon de miel, Mais celui qui a faim trouve doux tout ce qui est amer.
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.
