Job 2:8 in Context — Job 2
6 L’Éternel dit à Satan: Voici, je te le livre: seulement, épargne sa vie.
7 Et Satan se retira de devant la face de l’Éternel. Puis il frappa Job d’un ulcère malin, depuis la plante du pied jusqu’au sommet de la tête.
8 Et Job prit un tesson pour se gratter et s’assit sur la cendre.
9 Sa femme lui dit: Tu demeures ferme dans ton intégrité! Maudis Dieu, et meurs!
10 Mais Job lui répondit: Tu parles comme une femme insensée. Quoi! Nous recevons de Dieu le bien, et nous ne recevrions pas aussi le mal! En tout cela Job ne pécha point par ses lèvres.
