Job 20:5 in Context — Job 20
3 J’ai entendu des reproches qui m’outragent; Le souffle de mon intelligence donnera la réplique.
4 Ne sais-tu pas que, de tout temps, Depuis que l’homme a été placé sur la terre,
5 Le triomphe des méchants a été court, Et la joie de l’impie momentanée?
6 Quand il s’élèverait jusqu’aux cieux, Et que sa tête toucherait aux nues,
7 Il périra pour toujours comme son ordure, Et ceux qui le voyaient diront: Où est-il?
