Job 14:20 in Context — Job 14

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.

22 C’est pour lui seul qu’il éprouve de la douleur en son corps, C’est pour lui seul qu’il ressent de la tristesse en son âme.
