Job 36:16 in Context — Job 36

14 Fallecerá el alma de ellos en su mocedad, y su vida entre los sodomitas.

15 Al pobre librará de su pobreza, y en la aflicción despertará su oído.

16 Asimismo te apartaría de la boca de la angustia á lugar espacioso, [libre] de todo apuro; y te asentará mesa llena de grosura.

17 Mas tú has llenado el juicio del impío, [en vez] de sustentar el juicio y la justicia.

18 Por lo cual [teme] que [en su] ira no te quite con golpe, el cual no puedas apartar de ti con gran rescate.
