Job 24:8 in Context — Job 24
6 Ils coupent le fourrage qui reste dans les champs, Ils grappillent dans la vigne de l’impie;
7 Ils passent la nuit dans la nudité, sans vêtement, Sans couverture contre le froid;
8 Ils sont percés par la pluie des montagnes, Et ils embrassent les rochers comme unique refuge.
9 On arrache l’orphelin à la mamelle, On prend des gages sur le pauvre.
10 Ils vont tout nus, sans vêtement, Ils sont affamés, et ils portent les gerbes;
