Job 39:17 in Context — Job 39

15 Te fies-tu à lui pour la rentrée de ta récolte? Est-ce lui qui doit l’amasser dans ton aire?

16 L’aile de l’autruche se déploie joyeuse; On dirait l’aile, le plumage de la cigogne.

17 Mais l’autruche abandonne ses œufs à la terre, Et les fait chauffer sur la poussière;

18 Elle oublie que le pied peut les écraser, Qu’une bête des champs peut les fouler.

19 Elle est dure envers ses petits comme s’ils n’étaient point à elle; Elle ne s’inquiète pas de l’inutilité de son enfantement.
