Job 12:21 in Context — Job 12
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.
23 Il donne de l’accroissement aux nations, et il les anéantit; Il les étend au loin, et il les ramène dans leurs limites.
