Job 23:5 in Context — Job 23

3 Oh! Si je savais où le trouver, Si je pouvais arriver jusqu’à son trône,

4 Je plaiderais ma cause devant lui, Je remplirais ma bouche d’arguments,

5 Je connaîtrais ce qu’il peut avoir à répondre, Je verrais ce qu’il peut avoir à me dire.

6 Emploierait-il toute sa force à me combattre? Ne daignerait-il pas au moins m’écouter?

7 Ce serait un homme droit qui plaiderait avec lui, Et je serais pour toujours absous par mon juge.
