Job 29:8 in Context — Job 29

6 Quand mes pieds se baignaient dans la crème Et que le rocher répandait près de moi des ruisseaux d’huile!

7 Si je sortais pour aller à la porte de la ville, Et si je me faisais préparer un siège dans la place,

8 Les jeunes gens se retiraient à mon approche, Les vieillards se levaient et se tenaient debout.

9 Les princes arrêtaient leurs discours, Et mettaient la main sur leur bouche;

10 La voix des chefs se taisait, Et leur langue s’attachait à leur palais.
