Job 15:31 in Context — Job 15

29 Il ne s’enrichira plus, sa fortune ne se relèvera pas, Sa prospérité ne s’étendra plus sur la terre.

30 Il ne pourra se dérober aux ténèbres, La flamme consumera ses rejetons, Et Dieu le fera périr par le souffle de sa bouche.

31 S’il a confiance dans le mal, il se trompe, Car le mal sera sa récompense.

32 Elle arrivera avant le terme de ses jours, Et son rameau ne verdira plus.

33 Il sera comme une vigne dépouillée de ses fruits encore verts, Comme un olivier dont on a fait tomber les fleurs.
