Job 36:20 in Context — Job 36

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

19 Tes cris suffiraient-ils pour te sortir d’angoisse, Et même toutes les forces que tu pourrais déployer?

20 Ne soupire pas après la nuit, Qui enlève les peuples de leur place.

21 Garde-toi de te livrer au mal, Car la souffrance t’y dispose.

22 Dieu est grand par sa puissance; Qui saurait enseigner comme lui?
