Job 12:17 in Context — Job 12
15 Il retient les eaux et tout se dessèche; Il les lâche, et la terre en est dévastée.
16 Il possède la force et la prudence; Il maîtrise celui qui s’égare ou fait égarer les autres.
17 Il emmène captifs les conseillers; Il trouble la raison des juges.
18 Il délie la ceinture des rois, Il met une corde autour de leurs reins.
19 Il emmène captifs les sacrificateurs; Il fait tomber les puissants.
