Proverbs 6:12 in Context — Proverbs 6

10 Un peu de sommeil, un peu d’assoupissement, Un peu croiser les mains pour dormir!…

11 Et la pauvreté te surprendra, comme un rôdeur, Et la disette, comme un homme en armes.

12 L’homme pervers, l’homme inique, Marche la fausseté dans la bouche;

13 Il cligne des yeux, parle du pied, Fait des signes avec les doigts;

14 La perversité est dans son cœur, Il médite le mal en tout temps, Il excite des querelles.
