Job 17:8 in Context — Job 17

6 Il m’a rendu la fable des peuples, Et ma personne est un objet de mépris.

7 Mon œil est obscurci par la douleur; Tous mes membres sont comme une ombre.

8 Les hommes droits en sont stupéfaits, Et l’innocent se soulève contre l’impie.

9 Le juste néanmoins demeure ferme dans sa voie, Celui qui a les mains pures se fortifie de plus en plus.

10 Mais vous tous, revenez à vos mêmes discours, Et je ne trouverai pas un sage parmi vous.
