Via Dei, le chemin de Dieu

«Je suis le chemin, la vérité, et la vie. Nul ne vient au Père que par moi.»
Jean 14:6
1 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in speech and is a fool.

2 Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, And he who hurries his footsteps errs.

3 The foolishness of man ruins his way, And his heart rages against the LORD.

4 Wealth adds many friends, But a poor man is separated from his friend.

5 A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will not escape.

6 Many will seek the favor of a generous man, And every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.

7 All the brothers of a poor man hate him; How much more do his friends abandon him! He pursues [them with] words, [but] they are gone.

8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.

9 A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will perish.

10 Luxury is not fitting for a fool; Much less for a slave to rule over princes.

11 A man's discretion makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory to overlook a transgression.

12 The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is like dew on the grass.

13 A foolish son is destruction to his father, And the contentions of a wife are a constant dripping.

14 House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the LORD.

15 Laziness casts into a deep sleep, And an idle man will suffer hunger.

16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, [But] he who is careless of conduct will die.

17 One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, And He will repay him for his good deed.

18 Discipline your son while there is hope, And do not desire his death.

19 [A man of] great anger will bear the penalty, For if you rescue [him], you will only have to do it again.

20 Listen to counsel and accept discipline, That you may be wise the rest of your days.

21 Many plans are in a man's heart, But the counsel of the LORD will stand.

22 What is desirable in a man is his kindness, And [it is] better to be a poor man than a liar.

23 The fear of the LORD [leads] to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.

24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, [But] will not even bring it back to his mouth.

25 Strike a scoffer and the naive may become shrewd, But reprove one who has understanding and he will gain knowledge.

26 He who assaults [his] father [and] drives [his] mother away Is a shameful and disgraceful son.

27 Cease listening, my son, to discipline, [And you will] stray from the words of knowledge.

28 A rascally witness makes a mockery of justice, And the mouth of the wicked spreads iniquity.

29 Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And blows for the back of fools.
