Proverbes 10:24-32

Listen to Proverbes 10:24-32
24 Ce que redoute le méchant, c'est ce qui lui arrive; Et ce que désirent les justes leur est accordé.
25 Comme passe le tourbillon, ainsi disparaît le méchant; Mais le juste a des fondements éternels.
26 Ce que le vinaigre est aux dents et la fumée aux yeux, Tel est le paresseux pour celui qui l'envoie.
27 La crainte de l'Eternel augmente les jours, Mais les années des méchants sont abrégées.
28 L'attente des justes n'est que joie, Mais l'espérance des méchants périra.
29 La voie de l'Eternel est un rempart pour l'intégrité, Mais elle est une ruine pour ceux qui font le mal.
30 Le juste ne chancellera jamais, Mais les méchants n'habiteront pas le pays.
31 La bouche du juste produit la sagesse, Mais la langue perverse sera retranchée.
32 Les lèvres du juste connaissent la grâce, Et la bouche des méchants la perversité.

Proverbes 10:24-32 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PROVERBS 10

From this chapter to the "twenty fifth" are various proverbial sentences, without any very apparent connection or coherence with each other; describing righteous and wicked men; setting forth their different temper, conduct, and actions, and the fruits and effects of them. It should be observed, that frequently in the preceding chapters two persons are represented as women; one goes by the name of "Wisdom", the other is called the "foolish" woman and a "harlot"; the former is clearly to be understood of Christ; and the latter, being opposed to him, must be antichrist, the whore of Rome, and mother of harlots: now in the following part of this book two sorts of persons are spoken of; the one as wise, righteous, good and the other as foolish, wicked, &c. who are no other than the followers of Christ and antichrist; which observation is a key to the whole book.
