Job 33:17 in Context — Job 33

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.

19 Par la douleur aussi l’homme est repris sur sa couche, Quand une lutte continue vient agiter ses os.
