Proverbs 30:17 in Context — Proverbs 30
15 La sangsue a deux filles: Donne! Donne! Trois choses sont insatiables, Quatre ne disent jamais: Assez!
16 Le séjour des morts, la femme stérile, La terre, qui n’est pas rassasiée d’eau, Et le feu, qui ne dit jamais: Assez!
17 L’œil qui se moque d’un père Et qui dédaigne l’obéissance envers une mère, Les corbeaux du torrent le perceront, Et les petits de l’aigle le mangeront.
18 Il y a trois choses qui sont au-dessus de ma portée, Même quatre que je ne puis comprendre:
19 La trace de l’aigle dans les cieux, La trace du serpent sur le rocher, La trace du navire au milieu de la mer, Et la trace de l’homme chez la jeune femme.
