Job 19:28 in Context — Job 19

26 Quand ma peau sera détruite, il se lèvera; Quand je n’aurai plus de chair, je verrai Dieu.

27 Je le verrai, et il me sera favorable; Mes yeux le verront, et non ceux d’un autre; Mon âme languit d’attente au-dedans de moi.

28 Vous direz alors: Pourquoi le poursuivions-nous? Car la justice de ma cause sera reconnue.

29 Craignez pour vous le glaive: Les châtiments par le glaive sont terribles! Et sachez qu’il y a un jugement.
