Bible Crampon 1923
et l’homme de grande expérience parle sagement. 10 Celui qui n’a pas été éprouvé sait peu de choses,
et celui qui a voyagé possède une grande prudence. 11 J’ai vu beaucoup de choses dans mes voyages,
et ma science est plus grande que mes paroles. 12 Souvent j’ai été en danger de mort,
et j’ai été sauvé grâce à cette expérience. 13 L’esprit de ceux qui craignent le Seigneur vivra, car leur espérance est en celui qui les sauve. 14 Celui qui craint le Seigneur n’a peur de rien ; il ne tremble pas, car Dieu est son espérance. 15 Heureuse l’âme de celui qui craint le Seigneur ! Sur qui s’appuie-t-elle, et qui est son soutien ? 16 Les yeux du Seigneur sont sur ceux qui l’aiment ; il est un protecteur puissant, un appui plein de force, un abri contre le vent d’Orient, un abri contre les feux du midi, une garde contre l’achoppement, un secours contre la chute ; 17 il élève l’âme, il illumine les yeux, il donne santé, vie et bénédiction. 18 Immoler un bien mal acquis, c’est faire une offrande dérisoire ; et les dérisions des pécheurs ne sauraient être agréables à Dieu. 19 Le Très-Haut n’agrée pas les offrandes des impies, et ce n’est pas pour les nombreuses victimes qu’il pardonne les péchés. 20 Il immole un fils sous les yeux de son père, celui qui offre un sacrifice pris sur le bien des pauvres. 21 Le pain des malheureux est la vie des pauvres ; celui qui les en prive est un meurtrier. 22 Il donne la mort à son prochain, celui qui lui ôte sa subsistance ; il verse le sang, celui qui prive le mercenaire de son salaire. 23 L’un bâtit et l’autre détruit : qu’en retirent-ils, sinon de la peine ? 24 L’un prie et l’autre maudit : duquel le Maître écoutera-t-il la voix ? 25 Celui qui se lave après le contact d’un mort et qui le touche encore, que gagne-t-il à s’être lavé ? 26 Ainsi en est-il de l’homme qui jeûne pour ses péchés,
s’il va les commettre encore :
qui entendra sa prière,
et que lui servira son humiliation.
World English Bible (avec deutérocanoniques)
Dreams give wings to fools. 2 As one who grasps at a shadow and follows after the wind,
so is he who sets his mind on dreams. 3 The vision of dreams is a reflection,
the likeness of a face near a face. 4 From an unclean thing what can be cleansed?
From that which is false what can be true? 5 Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are vain.
The heart has fantasies like a woman in labor. 6 If they are not sent in a visitation from the Most High,
don’t give your heart to them. 7 For dreams have led many astray.
They have failed by putting their hope in them. 8 Without lying the law will be fulfilled.
Wisdom is complete in a faithful mouth. 9 A well-instructed man knows many things.
He who has much experience will declare understanding. 10 He who has no experience knows few things.
But he who has traveled increases cleverness. 11 I have seen many things in my travels.
My understanding is more than my words. 12 I was often in danger even to death.
I was preserved because of these experiences. 13 The spirit of those who fear the Lord will live,
for their hope is in him who saves them. 14 Whoever fears the Lord won’t be afraid, and won’t be a coward,
for he is his hope. 15 Blessed is the soul of him who fears the Lord.
To whom does he give heed? Who is his support? 16 The eyes of the Lord are on those who love him,
a mighty protection and strong support,
a cover from the hot blast, a shade from the noonday sun,
a guard from stumbling, and a help from falling. 17 He raises up the soul, and enlightens the eyes.
He gives health, life, and blessing. 18 He who sacrifices a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is made in mockery.
The mockeries of wicked men are not acceptable. 19 The Most High has no pleasure in the offerings of the ungodly,
Neither is he pacified for sins by the multitude of sacrifices. 20 Like one who kills a son before his father’s eyes
is he who brings a sacrifice from the goods of the poor. 21 The bread of the needy is the life of the poor.
He who deprives him of it is a man of blood. 22 Like one who murders his neighbor is he who takes away his living.
Like a shedder of blood is he who deprives a hireling of his hire. 23 When one builds, and another pulls down,
what profit do they have but toil? 24 When one prays, and another curses,
whose voice will the Lord listen to? 25 He who washes himself after touching a dead body, and touches it again,
what does he gain by his washing? 26 Even so a man fasting for his sins,
and going again, and doing the same,
who will listen to his prayer?
What profit does he have in his humiliation?
