Job 17:3 in Context — Job 17

1 MI ALIENTO está corrompido, acórtanse mis días, y me está aparejado el sepulcro.

2 No hay conmigo sino escarnecedores, en cuya acrimonia se detienen mis ojos.

3 Pon ahora, dame fianza para [litigar] contigo: ¿quién tocará ahora mi mano?

4 Porque [á éstos] has tú escondido su corazón de inteligencia: por tanto, no [los] ensalzarás.

5 El que denuncia lisonjas á sus prójimos, los ojos de sus hijos desfallezcan.
