Job 16:17 in Context — Job 16

15 Yo cosí saco sobre mi piel, y cargué mi cabeza de polvo.

16 Mi rostro está enlodado con lloro, y mis párpados entenebrecidos:

17 A pesar de no haber iniquidad en mis manos, y de haber sido mi oración pura.

18 ¡Oh tierra! no cubras mi sangre, y no haya lugar á mi clamor.

19 Mas he aquí que en los cielos está mi testigo, y mi testimonio en las alturas.
