Job 4:9 in Context — Job 4

7 Cherche dans ton souvenir: quel est l’innocent qui a péri? Quels sont les justes qui ont été exterminés?

8 Pour moi, je l’ai vu, ceux qui labourent l’iniquité Et qui sèment l’injustice en moissonnent les fruits;

9 Ils périssent par le souffle de Dieu, Ils sont consumés par le vent de sa colère,

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.
