Job 12:5 in Context — Job 12
3 J’ai tout aussi bien que vous de l’intelligence, moi, Je ne vous suis point inférieur; Et qui ne sait les choses que vous dites?
4 Je suis pour mes amis un objet de raillerie, Quand j’implore le secours de Dieu; Le juste, l’innocent, un objet de raillerie!
5 Au malheur le mépris! C’est la devise des heureux; A celui dont le pied chancelle est réservé le mépris.
6 Il y a paix sous la tente des pillards, Sécurité pour ceux qui offensent Dieu, Pour quiconque se fait un dieu de sa force.
7 Interroge les bêtes, elles t’instruiront, Les oiseaux du ciel, ils te l’apprendront;
