Job 34:20 in Context — Job 34

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?

20 En un instant, ils perdent la vie; Au milieu de la nuit, un peuple chancelle et périt; Le puissant disparaît, sans la main d’aucun homme.

21 Car Dieu voit la conduite de tous, Il a les regards sur les pas de chacun.

22 Il n’y a ni ténèbres ni ombre de la mort, Où puissent se cacher ceux qui commettent l’iniquité.
