Job 27:18 in Context — Job 27

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.

19 Il se couche riche, et il meurt dépouillé; Il ouvre les yeux, et tout a disparu.

20 Les terreurs le surprennent comme des eaux; Un tourbillon l’enlève au milieu de la nuit.
