Proverbs 2:7
French (La Bible expliquée)
Il aide les hommes droits. Les avantages de la sagesse et de la droiture sont immenses. Dieu lui-même assure la protection du juste. La sagesse qu'il donne est source de sécurité et de joie. Elle protège contre la séduction du mal sous toutes ses formes. Elle permet de trouver le chemin de la vie et d'échapper au malheur qui guette les méchants. Comme un bouclier il protège ceux qui vivent dans l'intégrité.
