Job 12:8 in Context — Job 12

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;

8 Parle à la terre, elle t’instruira; Et les poissons de la mer te le raconteront.

9 Qui ne reconnaît chez eux la preuve Que la main de l’Éternel a fait toutes choses?

10 Il tient dans sa main l’âme de tout ce qui vit, Le souffle de toute chair d’homme.
