Job 20:12 in Context — Job 20
10 Ses fils seront assaillis par les pauvres, Et ses mains restitueront ce qu’il a pris par violence.
11 La vigueur de la jeunesse, qui remplissait ses membres, Aura sa couche avec lui dans la poussière.
12 Le mal était doux à sa bouche, Il le cachait sous sa langue,
13 Il le savourait sans l’abandonner, Il le retenait au milieu de son palais;
14 Mais sa nourriture se transformera dans ses entrailles, Elle deviendra dans son corps un venin d’aspic.
