Job 15:14 in Context — Job 15

12 Où ton cœur t’entraîne-t-il, Et que signifie ce roulement de tes yeux?

13 Quoi! C’est contre Dieu que tu tournes ta colère Et que ta bouche exhale de pareils discours!

14 Qu’est-ce que l’homme, pour qu’il soit pur? Celui qui est né de la femme peut-il être juste?

15 Si Dieu n’a pas confiance en ses saints, Si les cieux ne sont pas purs devant lui,

16 Combien moins l’être abominable et pervers, L’homme qui boit l’iniquité comme l’eau!
