Job 16:15 in Context — Job 16

13 Ses traits m’environnent de toutes parts; Il me perce les reins sans pitié, Il répand ma bile sur la terre.

14 Il me fait brèche sur brèche, Il fond sur moi comme un guerrier.

15 J’ai cousu un sac sur ma peau; J’ai roulé ma tête dans la poussière.

16 Les pleurs ont altéré mon visage; L’ombre de la mort est sur mes paupières.

17 Je n’ai pourtant commis aucune violence, Et ma prière fut toujours pure.
