Proverbs 6:23 in Context — Proverbs 6
21 Lie-les constamment sur ton cœur, Attache-les à ton cou.
22 Ils te dirigeront dans ta marche, Ils te garderont sur ta couche, Ils te parleront à ton réveil.
23 Car le précepte est une lampe, et l’enseignement une lumière, Et les avertissements de la correction sont le chemin de la vie:
24 Ils te préserveront de la femme corrompue, De la langue doucereuse de l’étrangère.
25 Ne la convoite pas dans ton cœur pour sa beauté, Et ne te laisse pas séduire par ses paupières.
