Job 31:34 in Context — Job 31
32 Si l’étranger passait la nuit dehors, Si je n’ouvrais pas ma porte au voyageur;
33 Si, comme les hommes, j’ai caché mes transgressions, Et renfermé mes iniquités dans mon sein,

35 Oh! Qui me fera trouver quelqu’un qui m’écoute? Voilà ma défense toute signée: Que le Tout-Puissant me réponde! Qui me donnera la plainte écrite par mon adversaire?
36 Je porterai son écrit sur mon épaule, Je l’attacherai sur mon front comme une couronne;
