Proverbs 5:12 in Context — Proverbs 5
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?
13 Comment ai-je pu ne pas écouter la voix de mes maîtres, Ne pas prêter l’oreille à ceux qui m’instruisaient?
14 Peu s’en est fallu que je n’aie éprouvé tous les malheurs Au milieu du peuple et de l’assemblée.
