Proverbs 5:15 in Context — Proverbs 5

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.

15 Bois les eaux de ta citerne, Les eaux qui sortent de ton puits.

16 Tes sources doivent-elles se répandre au-dehors? Tes ruisseaux doivent ils couler sur les places publiques?

17 Qu’ils soient pour toi seul, Et non pour des étrangers avec toi.
