Job 27:18 in Context — Job 27

16 Si amontonare plata como polvo, y si preparare ropa como lodo;

17 Habrála él preparado, mas el justo se vestirá, y el inocente repartirá la plata.

18 Edificó su casa como la polilla, y cual cabaña que el guarda hizo.

19 El rico dormirá, mas no será recogido: abrirá sus ojos, mas él no será.

20 Asirán de él terrores como aguas: torbellino lo arrebatará de noche.
