Job 3:21 in Context — Job 3
19 Le petit et le grand sont là, Et l’esclave n’est plus soumis à son maître.
20 Pourquoi donne-t-il la lumière à celui qui souffre, Et la vie à ceux qui ont l’amertume dans l’âme,
21 Qui espèrent en vain la mort, Et qui la convoitent plus qu’un trésor,
22 Qui seraient transportés de joie Et saisis d’allégresse, s’ils trouvaient le tombeau?
23 A l’homme qui ne sait où aller, Et que Dieu cerne de toutes parts?
