Job 31:21 in Context — Job 31

19 Si j’ai vu le malheureux manquer de vêtements, L’indigent n’avoir point de couverture,

20 Sans que ses reins m’aient béni, Sans qu’il ait été réchauffé par la toison de mes agneaux;

21 Si j’ai levé la main contre l’orphelin, Parce que je me sentais un appui dans les juges;

22 Que mon épaule se détache de sa jointure, Que mon bras tombe et qu’il se brise!

23 Car les châtiments de Dieu m’épouvantent, Et je ne puis rien devant sa majesté.
