Job 24:14 in Context — Job 24

12 Dans les villes s’exhalent les soupirs des mourants, L’âme des blessés jette des cris… Et Dieu ne prend pas garde à ces infamies!

13 D’autres sont ennemis de la lumière, Ils n’en connaissent pas les voies, Ils n’en pratiquent pas les sentiers.

14 L’assassin se lève au point du jour, Tue le pauvre et l’indigent, Et il dérobe pendant la nuit.

15 L’œil de l’adultère épie le crépuscule; Personne ne me verra, dit-il, Et il met un voile sur sa figure.

16 La nuit ils forcent les maisons, Le jour ils se tiennent enfermés; Ils ne connaissent pas la lumière.
