Job 23:8 in Context — Job 23

6 ¿Pleitearía conmigo con grandeza de fuerza? No: antes él la pondría en mí.

7 Allí el justo razonaría con él: y escaparía para siempre de mi juez.

8 He aquí yo iré al oriente, y no lo [hallaré]; y al occidente, y no lo percibiré:

9 Si al norte él obrare, yo no lo veré; al mediodía se esconderá, y no lo veré.

10 Mas él conoció mi camino: probaráme, y saldré como oro.
