Job 11:5 in Context — Job 11

3 Tes vains propos feront-ils taire les gens? Te moqueras-tu, sans que personne te confonde?

4 Tu dis: Ma manière de voir est juste, Et je suis pur à tes yeux.

5 Oh! Si Dieu voulait parler, S’il ouvrait les lèvres pour te répondre,

6 Et s’il te révélait les secrets de sa sagesse, De son immense sagesse, Tu verrais alors qu’il ne te traite pas selon ton iniquité.

7 Prétends-tu sonder les pensées de Dieu, Parvenir à la connaissance parfaite du Tout-Puissant?
