Job 28:2 in Context — Job 28

1 Il y a pour l’argent une mine d’où on le fait sortir, Et pour l’or un lieu d’où on l’extrait pour l’affiner;

2 Le fer se tire de la poussière, Et la pierre se fond pour produire l’airain.

3 L’homme fait cesser les ténèbres; Il explore, jusque dans les endroits les plus profonds, Les pierres cachées dans l’obscurité et dans l’ombre de la mort.

4 Il creuse un puits loin des lieux habités; Ses pieds ne lui sont plus en aide, Et il est suspendu, balancé, loin des humains.
