Job 29:21 in Context — Job 29
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.
21 On m’écoutait et l’on restait dans l’attente, On gardait le silence devant mes conseils.
22 Après mes discours, nul ne répliquait, Et ma parole était pour tous une bienfaisante rosée;
23 Ils comptaient sur moi comme sur la pluie, Ils ouvraient la bouche comme pour une pluie du printemps.
