Job 28:9 in Context — Job 28

7 L’oiseau de proie n’en connaît pas le sentier, L’œil du vautour ne l’a point aperçu;

8 Les plus fiers animaux ne l’ont point foulé, Le lion n’y a jamais passé.

9 L’homme porte sa main sur le roc, Il renverse les montagnes depuis la racine;

10 Il ouvre des tranchées dans les rochers, Et son œil contemple tout ce qu’il y a de précieux;

11 Il arrête l’écoulement des eaux, Et il produit à la lumière ce qui est caché.
