31 He beholdeth the power of the height of heaven: and all men are earth and ashes.31 Quoi de plus lumineux que le soleil? Pourtant il a son déclin. Quelle erreur que la prétention d’un être de chair et de sang!
32 Le Seigneur contrôle l’armée des corps célestes, cependant que les hommes, sans exception, ne sont que terre et cendre.
