Job 17:14 in Context — Job 17
12 Pusieron la noche por día, y la luz se acorta delante de las tinieblas.
13 Si yo espero, el sepulcro es mi casa: haré mi cama en las tinieblas.
14 A la huesa tengo dicho: Mi padre eres tú; á los gusanos: Mi madre y mi hermana.
15 ¿Dónde pues estará ahora mi esperanza? y mi esperanza ¿quién la verá?
16 A los rincones de la huesa descenderán, y juntamente descansarán en el polvo.
