Job 9:26 in Context — Job 9

24 La terre est livrée aux mains de l’impie; Il voile la face des juges. Si ce n’est pas lui, qui est-ce donc?

25 Mes jours sont plus rapides qu’un courrier; Ils fuient sans avoir vu le bonheur;

26 Ils passent comme les navires de jonc, Comme l’aigle qui fond sur sa proie.

27 Si je dis: Je veux oublier mes souffrances, Laisser ma tristesse, reprendre courage,

28 Je suis effrayé de toutes mes douleurs. Je sais que tu ne me tiendras pas pour innocent.
