Job 29:18 in Context — Job 29

16 J’étais le père des misérables, J’examinais la cause de l’inconnu;

17 Je brisais la mâchoire de l’injuste, Et j’arrachais de ses dents la proie.

18 Alors je disais: Je mourrai dans mon nid, Mes jours seront abondants comme le sable;

19 L’eau pénétrera dans mes racines, La rosée passera la nuit sur mes branches;

20 Ma gloire reverdira sans cesse, Et mon arc rajeunira dans ma main.
