Job 12:23 in Context — Job 12
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.
24 Il enlève l’intelligence aux chefs des peuples, Il les fait errer dans les déserts sans chemin;
25 Ils tâtonnent dans les ténèbres, et ne voient pas clair; Il les fait errer comme des gens ivres.
