Proverbes 9:8-10
Louis Segond
8 Ne reprends pas le moqueur, de crainte qu'il ne te haïsse; Reprends le sage, et il t'aimera.
9 Donne au sage, et il deviendra plus sage; Instruis le juste, et il augmentera son savoir.
10 Le commencement de la sagesse, c'est la crainte de l'Éternel; Et la science des saints, c'est l'intelligence.
