Proverbs 6:17 in Context — Proverbs 6

15 Aussi sa ruine arrivera-t-elle subitement; Il sera brisé tout d’un coup, et sans remède.

16 Il y a six choses que hait l’Éternel, Et même sept qu’il a en horreur;

17 Les yeux hautains, la langue menteuse, Les mains qui répandent le sang innocent,

18 Le cœur qui médite des projets iniques, Les pieds qui se hâtent de courir au mal,

19 Le faux témoin qui dit des mensonges, Et celui qui excite des querelles entre frères.
