Job 28:4 in Context — Job 28
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.
5 La terre, d’où sort le pain, Est bouleversée dans ses entrailles comme par le feu.
6 Ses pierres contiennent du saphir, Et l’on y trouve de la poudre d’or.
