Job 14:19 in Context — Job 14
17 Mes transgressions sont scellées en un faisceau, Et tu imagines des iniquités à ma charge.
18 La montagne s’écroule et périt, Le rocher disparaît de sa place,
19 La pierre est broyée par les eaux, Et la terre emportée par leur courant; Ainsi tu détruis l’espérance de l’homme.
20 Tu es sans cesse à l’assaillir, et il s’en va; Tu le défigures, puis tu le renvoies.
21 Que ses fils soient honorés, il n’en sait rien; Qu’ils soient dans l’abaissement, il l’ignore.
