Proverbs 29:11 in Context — Proverbs 29

9 Si un homme sage conteste avec un insensé, Il aura beau se fâcher ou rire, la paix n’aura pas lieu.

10 Les hommes de sang haïssent l’homme intègre, Mais les hommes droits protègent sa vie.

11 L’insensé met en dehors toute sa passion, Mais le sage la contient.

12 Quand celui qui domine a égard aux paroles mensongères, Tous ses serviteurs sont des méchants.

13 Le pauvre et l’oppresseur se rencontrent; C’est l’Éternel qui éclaire les yeux de l’un et de l’autre.
