Job 23:12 in Context — Job 23
10 Mas él conoció mi camino: probaráme, y saldré como oro.
11 Mis pies tomaron su rastro; guardé su camino, y no me aparté.
12 Del mandamiento de sus labios nunca me separé; guardé las palabras de su boca más que mi comida.
13 Empero si él [se determina] en una cosa, ¿quién lo apartará? Su alma deseó, é hizo.
14 El pues acabará lo que ha determinado de mí: y muchas cosas como estas hay en él.
