Job 23:12 in Context — Job 23
10 Il sait néanmoins quelle voie j’ai suivie; Et, s’il m’éprouvait, je sortirais pur comme l’or.
11 Mon pied s’est attaché à ses pas; J’ai gardé sa voie, et je ne m’en suis point détourné.
12 Je n’ai pas abandonné les commandements de ses lèvres; J’ai fait plier ma volonté aux paroles de sa bouche.
13 Mais sa résolution est arrêtée; qui s’y opposera? Ce que son âme désire, il l’exécute.
14 Il accomplira donc ses desseins à mon égard, Et il en concevra bien d’autres encore.
