Proverbs 28:13 in Context — Proverbs 28
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.
14 Heureux l’homme qui est continuellement dans la crainte! Mais celui qui endurcit son cœur tombe dans le malheur.
15 Comme un lion rugissant et un ours affamé, Ainsi est le méchant qui domine sur un peuple pauvre.
