1 Job répondit à l’Éternel et dit:
2 Je reconnais que tu peux tout, Et que rien ne s’oppose à tes pensées.
3 Quel est celui qui a la folie d’obscurcir mes desseins? Oui, j’ai parlé, sans les comprendre, De merveilles qui me dépassent et que je ne conçois pas.
4 Écoute-moi, et je parlerai; Je t’interrogerai, et tu m’instruiras.
5 Mon oreille avait entendu parler de toi; Mais maintenant mon œil t’a vu.
