Job 42:5 in Context — Job 42

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.

6 C’est pourquoi je me condamne et je me repens Sur la poussière et sur la cendre.

7 Après que l’Éternel eut adressé ces paroles à Job, il dit à Éliphaz de Théman: Ma colère est enflammée contre toi et contre tes deux amis, parce que vous n’avez pas parlé de moi avec droiture comme l’a fait mon serviteur Job.
