Job 38:40

Listen to Job 38:40
40 Quand ils sont couchés dans leur tanière, Quand ils sont en embuscade dans leur repaire?

Job 38:40 Meaning and Commentary

Job 38:40

When they couch in [their] dens, [and] abide in the covert to
lie in wait?
] Which some understand of old lions, who, for want of strength, lie couchant in their dens, or in some covert place, waiting for any prey that passes by, to seize upon it. But the same pasture and places are used by younger lions, as well as old ones; who are emblems of wicked men, cruel persecutors, and bloodthirsty tyrants, who fill their palaces and kingdoms with murder and rapine; see ( Psalms 10:8-10 ) ( Nahum 2:11 Nahum 2:12 ) .

Job 38:40 In-Context

38 Pour que la poussière se mette à ruisseler, Et que les mottes de terre se collent ensemble?
39 Chasses-tu la proie pour la lionne, Et apaises-tu la faim des lionceaux,
40 Quand ils sont couchés dans leur tanière, Quand ils sont en embuscade dans leur repaire?
41 Qui prépare au corbeau sa pâture, Quand ses petits crient vers Dieu, Quand ils sont errants et affamés?
