Job 20:8 in Context — Job 20

6 Si subiere su altivez hasta el cielo, y su cabeza tocare en las nubes,

7 Con su estiércol perecerá para siempre: los que le hubieren visto, dirán: ¿Qué es de él?

8 Como sueño volará, y no será hallado: y disiparáse como visión nocturna.

9 El ojo que le habrá visto, nunca más le verá; ni su lugar le echará más de ver.

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