Job 4:17 in Context — Job 4
15 Un esprit passa près de moi… Tous mes cheveux se hérissèrent…
16 Une figure d’un aspect inconnu était devant mes yeux, Et j’entendis une voix qui murmurait doucement:
17 L’homme serait-il juste devant Dieu? Serait-il pur devant celui qui l’a fait?
18 Si Dieu n’a pas confiance en ses serviteurs, S’il trouve de la folie chez ses anges,
19 Combien plus chez ceux qui habitent des maisons d’argile, Qui tirent leur origine de la poussière, Et qui peuvent être écrasés comme un vermisseau!
