Job 15:21 in Context — Job 15
19 A eux seuls appartenait le pays, Et parmi eux nul étranger n’était encore venu.
20 Le méchant passe dans l’angoisse tous les jours de sa vie, Toutes les années qui sont le partage de l’impie.
21 La voix de la terreur retentit à ses oreilles; Au sein de la paix, le dévastateur va fondre sur lui;
22 Il n’espère pas échapper aux ténèbres, Il voit l’épée qui le menace;
23 Il court çà et là pour chercher du pain, Il sait que le jour des ténèbres l’attend.
