Job 24:21 in Context — Job 24

19 La sequía y el calor arrebatan las aguas de la nieve; y el sepulcro á los pecadores.

20 Olvidaráse de ellos el seno materno; de ellos sentirán los gusanos dulzura; nunca más habrá de ellos memoria, y como un árbol serán los impíos quebrantados.

21 A la mujer estéril que no paría, afligió; y á la viuda nunca hizo bien.

22 Mas á los fuertes adelantó con su poder: levantóse, y no se da por segura la vida.

23 Le dieron á crédito, y se afirmó: sus ojos están sobre los caminos de ellos.
