Job 30:2 in Context — Job 30

1 Et maintenant!… je suis la risée de plus jeunes que moi, De ceux dont je dédaignais de mettre les pères Parmi les chiens de mon troupeau.

2 Mais à quoi me servirait la force de leurs mains? Ils sont incapables d’atteindre la vieillesse.

3 Desséchés par la misère et la faim, Ils fuient dans les lieux arides, Depuis longtemps abandonnés et déserts;

4 Ils arrachent près des arbrisseaux les herbes sauvages, Et ils n’ont pour pain que la racine des genêts.
