Job 20:12 in Context — Job 20

10 Sus hijos pobres andarán rogando; y sus manos tornarán lo que él robó.

11 Sus huesos están llenos de sus mocedades, y con él serán sepultados en el polvo.

12 Si el mal se endulzó en su boca, si lo ocultaba debajo de su lengua;

13 Si le parecía bien, y no lo dejaba, mas antes lo detenía entre su paladar;

14 Su comida se mudará en sus entrañas, hiel de áspides será dentro de él.
