Job 1:7 in Context — Job 1
5 Et quand les jours de festin étaient passés, Job appelait et sanctifiait ses fils, puis il se levait de bon matin et offrait pour chacun d’eux un holocauste; car Job disait: Peut-être mes fils ont-ils péché et ont-ils offensé Dieu dans leur cœur. C’est ainsi que Job avait coutume d’agir.
6 Or, les fils de Dieu vinrent un jour se présenter devant l’Éternel, et Satan vint aussi au milieu d’eux.
7 L’Éternel dit à Satan: D’où viens-tu? Et Satan répondit à l’Éternel: De parcourir la terre et de m’y promener.
8 L’Éternel dit à Satan: As-tu remarqué mon serviteur Job? Il n’y a personne comme lui sur la terre; c’est un homme intègre et droit, craignant Dieu, et se détournant du mal.
9 Et Satan répondit à l’Éternel: Est-ce d’une manière désintéressée que Job craint Dieu?
