Proverbes 29:1-6

1 L'homme qui, étant repris, roidit son cou, sera subitement brisé, sans qu'il y ait de guérison.

2 Quand les justes sont les plus nombreux, le peuple se réjouit; mais quand le méchant domine, le peuple gémit.

3 L'homme qui aime la sagesse, réjouit son père; mais celui qui se plaît avec les débauchées, dissipe ses richesses.

4 Le roi affermit le pays par la justice; mais celui qui aime les présents le ruine.

5 L'homme qui flatte son prochain, tend un filet sous ses pas.

6 Il y a un piège dans le crime du méchant; mais le juste chante et se réjouit.
