Job 17:3 in Context — Job 17
1 Mon souffle se perd, Mes jours s’éteignent, Le sépulcre m’attend.
2 Je suis environné de moqueurs, Et mon œil doit contempler leurs insultes.
3 Sois auprès de toi-même ma caution; Autrement, qui répondrait pour moi?
4 Car tu as fermé leur cœur à l’intelligence; Aussi ne les laisseras-tu pas triompher.
5 On invite ses amis au partage du butin, Et l’on a des enfants dont les yeux se consument.
