Job 3:8 in Context — Job 3

6 Cette nuit! Que les ténèbres en fassent leur proie, Qu’elle disparaisse de l’année, Qu’elle ne soit plus comptée parmi les mois!

7 Que cette nuit devienne stérile, Que l’allégresse en soit bannie!

8 Qu’elle soit maudite par ceux qui maudissent les jours, Par ceux qui savent exciter le léviathan!

9 Que les étoiles de son crépuscule s’obscurcissent, Qu’elle attende en vain la lumière, Et qu’elle ne voie point les paupières de l’aurore!

10 Car elle n’a pas fermé le sein qui me conçut, Ni dérobé la souffrance à mes regards.
