Job 15:16 in Context — Job 15
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!
17 Je vais te parler, écoute-moi! Je raconterai ce que j’ai vu,
18 Ce que les sages ont fait connaître, Ce qu’ils ont révélé, l’ayant appris de leurs pères.
