Job 3:16 in Context — Job 3
14 Avec les rois et les grands de la terre, Qui se bâtirent des mausolées,
15 Avec les princes qui avaient de l’or, Et qui remplirent d’argent leurs demeures.
16 Ou je n’existerais pas, je serais comme un avorton caché, Comme des enfants qui n’ont pas vu la lumière.
17 Là ne s’agitent plus les méchants, Et là se reposent ceux qui sont fatigués et sans force;
18 Les captifs sont tous en paix, Ils n’entendent pas la voix de l’oppresseur;
