Job 21:13 in Context — Job 21

11 Ils laissent courir leurs enfants comme des brebis, Et les enfants prennent leurs ébats.

12 Ils chantent au son du tambourin et de la harpe, Ils se réjouissent au son du chalumeau.

13 Ils passent leurs jours dans le bonheur, Et ils descendent en un instant au séjour des morts.

14 Ils disaient pourtant à Dieu: Retire-toi de nous; Nous ne voulons pas connaître tes voies.

15 Qu’est-ce que le Tout-Puissant, pour que nous le servions? Que gagnerons-nous à lui adresser nos prières?
