Job 13:5 in Context — Job 13
3 Mais je veux parler au Tout-Puissant, Je veux plaider ma cause devant Dieu;
4 Car vous, vous n’imaginez que des faussetés, Vous êtes tous des médecins de néant.
5 Que n’avez-vous gardé le silence? Vous auriez passé pour avoir de la sagesse.
6 Écoutez, je vous prie, ma défense, Et soyez attentifs à la réplique de mes lèvres.
7 Direz-vous en faveur de Dieu ce qui est injuste, Et pour le soutenir alléguerez-vous des faussetés?
