Job 4:12 in Context — Job 4

10 Le rugissement des lions prend fin, Les dents des lionceaux sont brisées;

11 Le lion périt faute de proie, Et les petits de la lionne se dispersent.

12 Une parole est arrivée furtivement jusqu’à moi, Et mon oreille en a recueilli les sons légers.

13 Au moment où les visions de la nuit agitent la pensée, Quand les hommes sont livrés à un profond sommeil,

14 Je fus saisi de frayeur et d’épouvante, Et tous mes os tremblèrent.
