Proverbs 8:9 in Context — Proverbs 8

7 Car ma bouche proclame la vérité, Et mes lèvres ont en horreur le mensonge;

8 Toutes les paroles de ma bouche sont justes, Elles n’ont rien de faux ni de détourné;

9 Toutes sont claires pour celui qui est intelligent, Et droites pour ceux qui ont trouvé la science.

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.
