Proverbs 29:20 in Context — Proverbs 29
18 Quand il n’y a pas de révélation, le peuple est sans frein; Heureux s’il observe la loi!
19 Ce n’est pas par des paroles qu’on châtie un esclave; Même s’il comprend, il n’obéit pas.
20 Si tu vois un homme irréfléchi dans ses paroles, Il y a plus à espérer d’un insensé que de lui.
21 Le serviteur qu’on traite mollement dès l’enfance Finit par se croire un fils.
22 Un homme colère excite des querelles, Et un furieux commet beaucoup de péchés.
