Job 20:16 in Context — Job 20

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

15 Devoró riquezas, mas vomitarálas; de su vientre las sacará Dios.

16 Veneno de áspides chupará; matarálo lengua de víbora.

17 No verá los arroyos, los ríos, los torrentes de miel y de manteca.

18 Restituirá el trabajo conforme á la hacienda que tomó; y no tragará, ni gozará.
