1 L’Éternel répondit à Job du milieu de la tempête et dit:

2 Qui est celui qui obscurcit mes desseins Par des discours sans intelligence?

3 Ceins tes reins comme un vaillant homme; Je t’interrogerai, et tu m’instruiras.

4 Où étais-tu quand je fondais la terre? Dis-le, si tu as de l’intelligence.

5 Qui en a fixé les dimensions, le sais-tu? Ou qui a étendu sur elle le cordeau?
