Job 27:16 in Context — Job 27

14 S’il a des fils en grand nombre, c’est pour le glaive, Et ses rejetons manquent de pain;

15 Ceux qui échappent sont enterrés par la peste, Et leurs veuves ne les pleurent pas.

16 S’il amasse l’argent comme la poussière, S’il entasse les vêtements comme la boue,

17 C’est lui qui entasse, mais c’est le juste qui se revêt, C’est l’homme intègre qui a l’argent en partage.

18 Sa maison est comme celle que bâtit la teigne, Comme la cabane que fait un gardien.
