Job 20:13 in Context — Job 20

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.

15 Il a englouti des richesses, il les vomira; Dieu les chassera de son ventre.
