Job 17:9 in Context — Job 17

7 Y mis ojos se oscurecieron de desabrimiento, y mis pensamientos todos son como sombra.

8 Los rectos se maravillarán de esto, y el inocente se levantará contra el hipócrita.

9 No obstante, proseguirá el justo su camino, y el limpio de manos aumentará la fuerza.

11 Pasáronse mis días, fueron arrancados mis pensamientos, los designios de mi corazón.
