Job 5:12 in Context — Job 5

10 Il répand la pluie sur la terre, Et envoie l’eau sur les campagnes;

11 Il relève les humbles, Et délivre les affligés;

12 Il anéantit les projets des hommes rusés, Et leurs mains ne peuvent les accomplir;

13 Il prend les sages dans leur propre ruse, Et les desseins des hommes artificieux sont renversés:

14 Ils rencontrent les ténèbres au milieu du jour, Ils tâtonnent en plein midi comme dans la nuit.
