Job 20:19 in Context — Job 20

17 Il ne reposera plus ses regards sur les ruisseaux, Sur les torrents, sur les fleuves de miel et de lait.

18 Il rendra ce qu’il a gagné, et n’en profitera plus; Il restituera tout ce qu’il a pris, et n’en jouira plus.

19 Car il a opprimé, délaissé les pauvres, Il a ruiné des maisons et ne les a pas rétablies.

20 Son avidité n’a point connu de bornes; Mais il ne sauvera pas ce qu’il avait de plus cher.

21 Rien n’échappait à sa voracité; Mais son bien-être ne durera pas.
