Job 9:16 in Context — Job 9

14 Et moi, comment lui répondre? Quelles paroles choisir?

15 Quand je serais juste, je ne répondrais pas; Je ne puis qu’implorer mon juge.

16 Et quand il m’exaucerait, si je l’invoque, Je ne croirais pas qu’il eût écouté ma voix,

17 Lui qui m’assaille comme par une tempête, Qui multiplie sans raison mes blessures,

18 Qui ne me laisse pas respirer, Qui me rassasie d’amertume.
