Proverbs 4:20 in Context — Proverbs 4
18 Le sentier des justes est comme la lumière resplendissante, Dont l’éclat va croissant jusqu’au milieu du jour.
19 La voie des méchants est comme les ténèbres; Ils n’aperçoivent pas ce qui les fera tomber.
20 Mon fils, sois attentif à mes paroles, Prête l’oreille à mes discours.
21 Qu’ils ne s’éloignent pas de tes yeux; Garde-les dans le fond de ton cœur;
22 Car c’est la vie pour ceux qui les trouvent, C’est la santé pour tout leur corps.
