Job 22:8 in Context — Job 22
6 Tu enlevais sans motif des gages à tes frères, Tu privais de leurs vêtements ceux qui étaient nus;
7 Tu ne donnais point d’eau à l’homme altéré, Tu refusais du pain à l’homme affamé.
8 Le pays était au plus fort, Et le puissant s’y établissait.
9 Tu renvoyais les veuves à vide; Les bras des orphelins étaient brisés.
10 C’est pour cela que tu es entouré de pièges, Et que la terreur t’a saisi tout à coup.
