Job 27:19 in Context — Job 27

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.

21 Le vent d’orient l’emporte, et il s’en va; Il l’arrache violemment de sa demeure.
