Job 24:16 in Context — Job 24
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.
17 Pour eux, le matin c’est l’ombre de la mort, ils en éprouvent toutes les terreurs.
18 Eh quoi! L’impie est d’un poids léger sur la face des eaux, Il n’a sur la terre qu’une part maudite, Il ne prend jamais le chemin des vignes!
