Job 36:18 in Context — Job 36

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.

19 ¿Hará él estima de tus riquezas, ni del oro, ni de todas las fuerzas del poder?

20 No anheles la noche, en que desaparecen los pueblos de su lugar.
