19 A los cuales solos fué dada la tierra, y no pasó extraño por medio de ellos:)

20 Todos los días del impío, él es atormentado de dolor, y el número de años es escondido al violento.

21 Estruendos espantosos hay en sus oídos; en la paz le vendrá quien lo asuele.

22 El no creerá que ha de volver de las tinieblas, y está mirando al cuchillo.

23 Desasosegado á comer siempre, sabe que le está aparejado día de tinieblas.
