Job 33:16 in Context — Job 33

14 Dieu parle cependant, tantôt d’une manière, Tantôt d’une autre, et l’on n’y prend point garde.

15 Il parle par des songes, par des visions nocturnes, Quand les hommes sont livrés à un profond sommeil, Quand ils sont endormis sur leur couche.

16 Alors il leur donne des avertissements Et met le sceau à ses instructions,

17 Afin de détourner l’homme du mal Et de le préserver de l’orgueil,

18 Afin de garantir son âme de la fosse Et sa vie des coups du glaive.
