Proverbs 28:11 in Context — Proverbs 28

9 Si quelqu’un détourne l’oreille pour ne pas écouter la loi, Sa prière même est une abomination.

10 Celui qui égare les hommes droits dans la mauvaise voie Tombe dans la fosse qu’il a creusée; Mais les hommes intègres héritent le bonheur.

11 L’homme riche se croit sage; Mais le pauvre qui est intelligent le sonde.

12 Quand les justes triomphent, c’est une grande gloire; Quand les méchants s’élèvent, chacun se cache.

13 Celui qui cache ses transgressions ne prospère point, Mais celui qui les avoue et les délaisse obtient miséricorde.
