Job 8:11 in Context — Job 8

9 Car nous sommes d’hier, et nous ne savons rien, Nos jours sur la terre ne sont qu’une ombre.

10 Ils t’instruiront, ils te parleront, Ils tireront de leur cœur ces sentences:

11 Le jonc croît-il sans marais? Le roseau croît-il sans humidité?

12 Encore vert et sans qu’on le coupe, Il sèche plus vite que toutes les herbes.

13 Ainsi arrive-t-il à tous ceux qui oublient Dieu, Et l’espérance de l’impie périra.
