Job 20:19 in Context — Job 20

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.

19 Por cuanto quebrantó y desamparó á los pobres, robó casas, y no las edificó;

20 Por tanto, no sentirá él sosiego en su vientre, ni salvará nada de lo que codiciaba.

21 No quedó nada que no comiese: por tanto su bien no será durable.
