Proverbes 21:26-31

26 Il ne fait que souhaiter tout le jour; mais le juste donne, et n'épargne rien.

27 Le sacrifice des méchants est une abomination; combien plus s'ils l'apportent dans un mauvais dessein!

28 Le témoin menteur périra; mais l'homme qui écoute, pourra toujours parler.

29 L'homme méchant a un air hautain; mais le juste affermit sa voie.

30 Il n'y a ni sagesse, ni intelligence, ni conseil, pour résister à l'Éternel.

31 Le cheval est équipé pour le jour de la bataille; mais la délivrance vient de l'Éternel.
