Job 20:23 in Context — Job 20

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

22 Au milieu de l’abondance il sera dans la détresse; La main de tous les misérables se lèvera sur lui.

23 Et voici, pour lui remplir le ventre, Dieu enverra sur lui le feu de sa colère, Et le rassasiera par une pluie de traits.

24 S’il échappe aux armes de fer, L’arc d’airain le transpercera.

25 Il arrache de son corps le trait, Qui étincelle au sortir de ses entrailles, Et il est en proie aux terreurs de la mort.
