Job 5:14 in Context — Job 5

12 Que frustra los pensamientos de los astutos, para que sus manos no hagan nada:

13 Que prende á los sabios en la astucia de ellos, y el consejo de los perversos es entontecido;

14 De día se topan con tinieblas, y en mitad del día andan á tientas como de noche:

15 Y libra de la espada al pobre, de la boca de los impíos, y de la mano violenta;

16 Pues es esperanza al menesteroso, y la iniquidad cerrará su boca.
