Proverbs 8:15 in Context — Proverbs 8

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.

15 Par moi les rois règnent, Et les princes ordonnent ce qui est juste;

16 Par moi gouvernent les chefs, Les grands, tous les juges de la terre.

17 J’aime ceux qui m’aiment, Et ceux qui me cherchent me trouvent.
