Proverbs 8:12 in Context — Proverbs 8

10 Préférez mes instructions à l’argent, Et la science à l’or le plus précieux;

11 Car la sagesse vaut mieux que les perles, Elle a plus de valeur que tous les objets de prix.

12 Moi, la sagesse, j’ai pour demeure le discernement, Et je possède la science de la réflexion.

13 La crainte de l’Éternel, c’est la haine du mal; L’arrogance et l’orgueil, la voie du mal, Et la bouche perverse, voilà ce que je hais.

14 Le conseil et le succès m’appartiennent; Je suis l’intelligence, la force est à moi.
