Job 12:14 in Context — Job 12

12 En los viejos está la ciencia, y en la larga edad la inteligencia.

13 Con Dios está la sabiduría y la fortaleza; suyo es el consejo y la inteligencia.

14 He aquí, él derribará, y no será edificado: encerrará al hombre, y no habrá quien le abra.

15 He aquí, él detendrá las aguas, y se secarán; él las enviará, y destruirán la tierra.

16 Con él está la fortaleza y la existencia; suyo es el que yerra, y el que hace errar.
