Job 21:16 in Context — Job 21
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?
16 Quoi donc! Ne sont-ils pas en possession du bonheur? Loin de moi le conseil des méchants!
17 Mais arrive-t-il souvent que leur lampe s’éteigne, Que la misère fonde sur eux, Que Dieu leur distribue leur part dans sa colère,
18 Qu’ils soient comme la paille emportée par le vent, Comme la balle enlevée par le tourbillon?
