Job 34:17 in Context — Job 34
15 Toute chair périrait soudain, Et l’homme rentrerait dans la poussière.
16 Si tu as de l’intelligence, écoute ceci, Prête l’oreille au son de mes paroles!
17 Un ennemi de la justice régnerait-il? Et condamneras-tu le juste, le puissant,
18 Qui proclame la méchanceté des rois Et l’iniquité des princes,
19 Qui n’a point égard à l’apparence des grands Et ne distingue pas le riche du pauvre, Parce que tous sont l’ouvrage de ses mains?
