Job 21:18 in Context — Job 21
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?
19 Est-ce pour les fils que Dieu réserve le châtiment du père? Mais c’est lui que Dieu devrait punir, pour qu’il le sente;
20 C’est lui qui devrait contempler sa propre ruine, C’est lui qui devrait boire la colère du Tout-Puissant.
