Proverbs 5:10 in Context — Proverbs 5

8 Éloigne-toi du chemin qui conduit chez elle, Et ne t’approche pas de la porte de sa maison,

9 De peur que tu ne livres ta vigueur à d’autres, Et tes années à un homme cruel;

10 De peur que des étrangers ne se rassasient de ton bien, Et du produit de ton travail dans la maison d’autrui;

11 De peur que tu ne gémisses, près de ta fin, Quand ta chair et ton corps se consumeront,

12 Et que tu ne dises: Comment donc ai-je pu haïr la correction, Et comment mon cœur a-t-il dédaigné la réprimande?
