Job 17:14 in Context — Job 17
12 Et ils prétendent que la nuit c’est le jour, Que la lumière est proche quand les ténèbres sont là!
13 C’est le séjour des morts que j’attends pour demeure, C’est dans les ténèbres que je dresserai ma couche;
14 Je crie à la fosse: Tu es mon père! Et aux vers: Vous êtes ma mère et ma sœur!
15 Mon espérance, où donc est-elle? Mon espérance, qui peut la voir?
16 Elle descendra vers les portes du séjour des morts, Quand nous irons ensemble reposer dans la poussière.
