Job 23:8 in Context — Job 23
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.
8 Mais, si je vais à l’orient, il n’y est pas; Si je vais à l’occident, je ne le trouve pas;
9 Est-il occupé au nord, je ne puis le voir; Se cache-t-il au midi, je ne puis le découvrir.
10 Il sait néanmoins quelle voie j’ai suivie; Et, s’il m’éprouvait, je sortirais pur comme l’or.
