"Tant que je respire". Job face à sa mort

Job's question is often presented as the question of unjust evil. But his first and fundamental question is that of death, that of birth and life and their meaning in a situation of suffering (Jb 3). Death, often violent, is omnipresent in the book. After pointing out some elements of the lexicon, metaphors and Hebrew expressions of dying and killing in the Hebrew book, the article outlines a few features of Job's language on death and life and then retraces his itinerary in front of his own death. Among the ashes, during the time remaining before dying, Job is torn between his “I want to die” and his “I don't want to die”, confronted with the (non)death of the wicked, with the idea of a murderous God. How will he get out of the obsession with (his) death to be reborn?.
