Job 4:17 in Context — Job 4
15 Y un espíritu pasó por delante de mí, que hizo se erizara el pelo de mi carne.
16 Paróse un fantasma delante de mis ojos, cuyo rostro yo no conocí, y quedo, oí que decía:
17 ¿Si será el hombre más justo que Dios? ¿si será el varón más limpio que el que lo hizo?
18 He aquí que en sus siervos no confía, y notó necedad en sus ángeles;
19 ¡Cuánto más en los que habitan en casas de lodo, cuyo fundamento está en el polvo, y que serán quebrantados de la polilla!
