Job 9:18 in Context — Job 9

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.

19 Recourir à la force? Il est tout-puissant. A la justice? Qui me fera comparaître?

20 Suis-je juste, ma bouche me condamnera; Suis-je innocent, il me déclarera coupable.
