Job 36:16 in Context — Job 36

14 Ils perdent la vie dans leur jeunesse, Ils meurent comme les débauchés.

15 Mais Dieu sauve le malheureux dans sa misère, Et c’est par la souffrance qu’il l’avertit.

16 Il te retirera aussi de la détresse, Pour te mettre au large, en pleine liberté, Et ta table sera chargée de mets succulents.

17 Mais si tu défends ta cause comme un impie, Le châtiment est inséparable de ta cause.

18 Que l’irritation ne t’entraîne pas à la moquerie, Et que la grandeur de la rançon ne te fasse pas dévier!
