Job 21:18 in Context — Job 21

16 He aquí que su bien no está en manos de ellos: el consejo de los impíos lejos esté de mí.

17 ¡Oh cuántas veces la lámpara de los impíos es apagada, y viene sobre ellos su quebranto, [y Dios] en su ira les reparte dolores!

18 Serán como la paja delante del viento, y como el tamo que arrebata el torbellino.

19 Dios guardará para sus hijos su violencia; y le dará su pago, para que conozca.

20 Verán sus ojos su quebranto, y beberá de la ira del Todopoderoso.
