Job 8:12 in Context — Job 8
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.
14 Son assurance est brisée, Son soutien est une toile d’araignée.
