Job 33:20 in Context — Job 33

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.

20 Alors il prend en dégoût le pain, Même les aliments les plus exquis;

21 Sa chair se consume et disparaît, Ses os qu’on ne voyait pas sont mis à nu;

22 Son âme s’approche de la fosse, Et sa vie des messagers de la mort.
