Job 24:12 in Context — Job 24

10 Al desnudo hacen andar sin vestido, y á los hambrientos quitan los hacecillos.

11 De dentro de sus paredes exprimen el aceite, pisan los lagares, y mueren de sed.

12 De la ciudad gimen los hombres, y claman las almas de los heridos de muerte: mas Dios no puso estorbo.

13 Ellos son los que, rebeldes á la luz, nunca conocieron sus caminos, ni estuvieron en sus veredas.

14 A la luz se levanta el matador, mata al pobre y al necesitado, y de noche es como ladrón.
