Job 14:12 in Context — Job 14

10 Mais l’homme meurt, et il perd sa force; L’homme expire, et où est-il?

11 Les eaux des lacs s’évanouissent, Les fleuves tarissent et se dessèchent;

12 Ainsi l’homme se couche et ne se relèvera plus, Il ne se réveillera pas tant que les cieux subsisteront, Il ne sortira pas de son sommeil.

13 Oh! Si tu voulais me cacher dans le séjour des morts, M’y tenir à couvert jusqu’à ce que ta colère fût passée, Et me fixer un terme auquel tu te souviendras de moi!

14 Si l’homme une fois mort pouvait revivre, J’aurais de l’espoir tout le temps de mes souffrances, Jusqu’à ce que mon état vînt à changer.
