Job 5:3 in Context — Job 5

1 Crie maintenant! Qui te répondra? Auquel des saints t’adresseras-tu?

2 L’insensé périt dans sa colère, Le fou meurt dans ses emportements.

3 J’ai vu l’insensé prendre racine; Puis soudain j’ai maudit sa demeure.

4 Plus de prospérité pour ses fils; Ils sont foulés à la porte, et personne qui les délivre!

5 Sa moisson est dévorée par des affamés, Qui viennent l’enlever jusque dans les épines, Et ses biens sont engloutis par des hommes altérés.
