Job 12:20 in Context — Job 12
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.
20 Il ôte la parole à ceux qui ont de l’assurance; Il prive de jugement les vieillards.
21 Il verse le mépris sur les grands; Il relâche la ceinture des forts.
22 Il met à découvert ce qui est caché dans les ténèbres, Il produit à la lumière l’ombre de la mort.
